Where are all the gay dockers?

What do we know about gay people who lived and worked on the docks?
Join one of our hosts to explore queer stories in and around the docks in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Find out about the process of uncovering queer histories, why they might be tricky to find, and how those people we do know about lived and worked in communities around the docks.
