	What did you want to know about these men? I have some information on Thames watermen and lightermen but you dont seem to say what you actually want to find out? If you just want to find them in other peoples trees, checke out the search trees tab at the top of the page. I would point on that on many a marriage cert a dock labourer was "elevated" to one of these trades :)
