Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of the Sailors' Union of the Pacific, a powerful organization that emerged in the late 19th century and dramatically changed the lives of American seamen. The author traces the roots of the union back to the harsh realities of life aboard merchant ships in the 1880s and 90s, where sailors were often subjected to brutal treatment, inadequate living conditions, and a system of exploitation by crimps and boardinghouse keepers. The book illuminates the profound inequities faced by these men, whose legal status in most nations was essentially tied to the ship itself, mirroring the historical restrictions placed upon serfs in medieval times. Through meticulous research, the author examines the union's struggles to achieve collective bargaining power, its efforts to secure improved wages and working conditions, and its impact on the political landscape, ultimately leading to the passage of landmark legislation protecting the rights of seamen. The book also explores the key factors that contributed to the success of the union on the Pacific Coast, such as the geographic isolation of ports, the unique nature of the lumber trade, and the presence of a relatively homogenous group of sailors. This book offers a vital perspective on the challenges faced by early labor movements and the power of collective action in achieving social justice. It is a gripping account of a time when the lives of sailors were transformed by the courage and determination of their own organization.
