There are two places where landsmen and seamen are likely to come into conflict: (i) in the pubs around Portsmouth Docks; and (ii) in tidal estuaries such as the Thames. There is, however, an intermediate class of person, represented nowadays almost entirely by more or less amateur oarsmen and women, which is that of watermen. I am proud to consider myself a member of all three.
