ILWU members are: Joe Kaheʻe, Paul Tallet, Joe Rocha, Matsutaro "Makule" Jitchaku, and Bert Nakano; Chris Conybeare and Dr. William "Bill" Puette join the tour of the docks as well. Recorded on August 13, 1986. Subjects include changes to the pier over time, bringing boats in to dock, how dirty being down in the ship was, old stories, and the location of the old union hall.
