Content descriptions

General Note:
"This book is the direct result of nearly twenty-five hours of recorded interviews, with thirteen people who have helped shape the port over the course of the twentieth century. Certainly, the port has played a prominent role in their lives as well. After the interview sessions, audio recordings were transcribed word-for-word. Then, with the interviewees' approval and in consultation with them, transcriptions were modified slightly to ensure a narrative flow."--Introduction.
