What does longshoreman mean?
A longshoreman is a person who works loading
and unloading shipping vessels at a dock.
A longshoreman can also be called a docker or dockworker.
The work of a longshoreman is called longshoring.
Although the profession has traditionally
been done primarily by men,
women also do the job,
and one can be called a longshorewoman,
a woman longshoreman, or a female longshoreman.
Example:
When I worked as a longshoreman,
I made good money, but the work was exhausting.
Where does longshoreman come from?
The first records of longshoreman come from the early 1800s.
It’s based on the word longshore,
which means “at or employed along the shore,
especially at or near a seaport.“
Longshore is a shortening of alongshore,
meaning quite simply “along the shore or coast.”
Longshoremen work at ports
where ships deliver goods that are then unloaded
so they can be distributed by other means.
Today, the work of a longshoreman primarily involves
the loading and unloading of shipping containers.
But before such containers became common
in the shipping industry,
longshoremen often had to handle heavy loads of goods
in all different kinds of containers.
Historically,
the job has been associated with heavy manual labor
under sometimes dangerous conditions.
Longshoremen are often part of labor unions
that negotiate to improve the conditions they work in.
How is longshoreman used in real life?
The term longshoreman is commonly
associated with hard manual labor,
so longshoremen are often thought of
as tough and hardworking.
