Sailortown,
Titel:
Sailortown
note was, and still is, a piece of paper given to a certain value, and handed to the sailor in the shipping office. Nowadays it represents one month's wages in advance, but in the days of sail, and long voyages, two, and very often three, months' advance was given the sailor, ostensibly to fit himself out with Cape Horn gear before em- barking on a long voyage. The shipowner would not redeem the 'note', as it was called, until the ship was under way and it was cer- tain that the sailor was aboard. Tailors and crimps, however, would offer to cash the note before the sailor joined the ship, so that he could have a booze-up and women, conjured up, of course by the tailor or crimp. The reader may think the tailor and the crimp ran a risk; perhaps the sailor would fail to join his ship. This, in actual fact, veiy rarely occurred; the tailors and crimps being too cute. What really happened was this. After the tailor—or crimp—got the note, he would see to it that the sailor had a night's orgy on doped booze, after which he or his runners would make sure the sailor was carried aboard and stayed aboard. On waking up aboard his ship the sailor- man would realize that all he had to show for his two months' wages —as yet not worked for—was a fat head, often a dose of pox, some second-hand gear, and a 'donkey's breakfast', or straw-filled mattress. Also he realized that all this rubbish and his night out had cost them but a sixteenth, perhaps, of his note. The crimp or tailor, and the mas- ter of his ship—who was often implicated in the deed—all benefiting from the note far more than he.
'hard weather' sailor gear, with mouldy 'Cape Horn underwear' and sleazy shore-going 'traps' to be had on inquiry within the gloomy interior. In all ports such tailors existed, and Solomon Levi of Frisco, 'Old Fluffem' of Melbourne Town, and the sneiders of Hamburg were known to sailormen throughout the Seven Seas. Most of these tailors were Jews, but in some ports, such as those of South America, many of them were Greeks, Syrians, and other Levantines. Street stalls, too, would line the cobbled lanes of Fiddler's Green, and here the sailors, or at least the ones who could read, would buy their literature for the voyage, much of it, naturally, pornographic. Sail lofts and rigging lofts and roperies, too, all went to make up Sailortown's bustling trades. The references to roperies reminds the writer of an idea that dawned upon him while engaged in Sailortown research: the feeling that many Sailortowns grew up around roperies. A ropery in the old days, prior to the Industrial Age, was a long, rather narrow, street, where men and women tramped backwards and forwards, monotonously twisting up yarns on a hand-spinner. They produced all sorts of rope from small stuff", used for seizings, to great cable-laid hawsers, as thick as a man's body, such as naval fri- gates used in the days of Nelson. Some of these roperies were to be found in inland towns, but those that were in the ports were close to 79
