Historical information

Poem collected from Mrs Bowen by Composer Clive Douglas and included in her collection in State Library of Victoria. George Dreyfus composed the first four verses for his TV series 'Waterfront'. The last two verses were written by Paddy McCorney(?), member of the Victorian Trade Union Choir to add to the rough relevance for the February 1998 dispute at Webb Dock.
