The Art Of Stevedore

Stevedoring is the loading of unloading of cargo ships. The word originated in Portugal and entered the English language through its use by sailors. It started as a phonetic spelling of estivador, meaning a man who stuffs, here in the sense of a man who loads ships.

Over the past seven months Alex Hallajian had the opportunity to film the 24/7 operations at the Port of Long Beach, the second-busiest container port in the United States.
