The Kinsman Independent, shown at start, would be the final freighter to dock and unload by hand on Buffalo docks in this fashion, in 2003. With it came the end of the Scoopers. Any Local 107 today are now only considered emeritus members, to my knowledge.
My stepdad used to sail on this ship, I spent a lot of time here as a child. Brings back many memories.
Loud hard work
