The long awaited Dockers statue has finally been sited in the Royal Victoria Dock outside the ExCel exhibition centre, it depicts Dockers at work and it is dedicated to all the Dock Workers from the 1800s that had such a hard life.
The three figures depicted in the statue are: John Ringwood, an ex Seaman who later worker in the Docks, came originally from Custom House and now lives in Hornchurch; Patrick Holland from Custom House, who worked as a Stevedore in the Docks for 20 years, he is the one with the hat on who is portraying a Tally Clerk; Mark Tibbs, who comes from a Boxing family in Canning Town.

Limerick City Council commissioned a work of public art to commemorate in a permanent way the contribution the Limerick Dockers made to the cultural and economic life of the city. The commission was administered in two stages and the first call for expression of interest elicited thirty eight responses. From these thirty eight responses, Limerick City Council invited 9 artists to submit a more detailed idea of their proposal.
It is fitting that Limerick born artist Michael Duhan was selected to make a permanent tribute to the Limerick Dockers, as his father was a docker and worked on ships. The dockers performed one of the most difficult and challenging ways to earn a living in the City. This life size bronze sculpture reflects with honesty and integrity the physical work and the camaraderie that existed between the Dockers.

This wa a party at th Dockers club after an International Dockers conference in Liverpool. Paco from Portugal and Rico from Tennerife were so moved by the warmth and spirit of solidarity that Rico burst into tears. I heard that he tragically died some months later saving his son from a shifting load on board a ship.
