👉 A longshoreman is a person who works in a maritime industry, typically on waterways such as rivers, lakes, and oceans. They are responsible for operating ships, boats, or other vessels that transport goods or people across the ocean. Longshoremen may work alongside shipyards, docks, or other structures at sea to ensure safety and efficiency during their operations. They often operate in a fast-paced environment and must be able to work long hours and under pressure.
