Women making a life at sea may not have always identified as working-class (just as upper servants ddn't). But on ship they worked seven days a week. And gendered discrimination created obstacles. See their story in my new book, out Feb 19. 👍

Remembering all those seafarers who voyaged feeling that to be safe they had to keep their identities secret from their shipmates.

Virginia Oliver, who for years was the oldest licensed lobster trapper in Maine, has died at 105. “She was a living piece of Maine’s maritime history,” the Maine Lobster Festival said in a statement.

“When I first started, there weren’t any women but me,” Mrs. Oliver told the Globe in 2021, when she was still lobstering at 101.

The first book published by Crampton-Moorhouse was this in 2004. It is now out of print and we only have a very few copies left. I am sure you won't want to spend the absurd $$ shown on Amazon!
