Description

Waterfront. Reminiscences Of A Bygone Era In The Port Of Bluff by Maurice Skerrett. ' A history of the Port of Bluff and the people who worked there. An elderly gent, with the superior air of a man of wisdom, once held the floor in a bar with his extensive knowledge of many trades, professions and pursuits of men. "You're a pretty clued-up guy," he was told by a person of some insight. "You've gained a lot from life's experiences - what line of work were you in mate?" "I once worked on the wharf, and that taught me more than I ever learned at school," the elderly gentleman replied. He was a mine of information because he had been educated in the school of hard knocks, hard labour, and benefited from the interchange of ideas of fellow men from many walks of life. This book is full of personal stories, cartoons and many black and white photographs. A treasure of information.' The book has some 'dog ears' damage on the bottom edges but the binding is tight and pages are bright.
