		These paternalistic concerns influenced the court in the longshoreman's favor despite the fact that the custom was to report hazards to one's own supervisor and to continue work only after permission was received, and that this standard of care was part of the union's collective bargaining agreement.

	Review: The Longshoreman by Richard Shelton \| Review \| Guardian Unlimited Books (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		That is what gave legs to his minutiae-dense description of the Beagle's circumnavigation, The Voyage of the Beagle, and made it an enduring classic.
		The Longshoreman, a deeply rewarding memoir by Richard Shelton (who may most reductively be termed a marine biologist), describes not so much the fish and creatures that largely fill his book as the soul of the man whose sensibility and view of life make him one of the world's pre-eminent observers of natural phenomena.
		His poet's heart and eye, and his sure way with the simplest of words, should ensure that his book, too, will continue to be read for generations by those who will cling with hope to such a warm and sweet view of our increasingly beleaguered world.

		The deaths of all three were consequences of the culture promoted by that job, in which one cannot plan one's life because one never knows what days one will work, and what shift, in an industry in which the most rapid turnaround of ships is the governing "law."

		I remember seeing that a good longshoreman moves ~30 containers an hour from the depths of the cargo holds of a container ship to the doc all while perched 100ft above the container in a crane.
		More importantly though, thanks to the ferocious increase in volume that stemmed from cargo containerization, the $$$ value that an individual longshoreman moves from ship to shore is probably in the $M's / hour.
