Before waterfront redevelopment, and before waterfront
decay, New York's waterfront was a world of its own. As part of WFUV's new Strike
a Chord campaign, we look at that world--New York's longshoremen, organized
crime, and how it inspired a classic film. Our guest is James Fisher--his book "The Irish Waterfront and the Soul of the
Port", is forthcoming from Cornell University press.
