A biography of Charles Hopkins 1861-1922, Anglican priest, religious founder, strike leader, trustee of the National Sailor’s & Fishermen’s Union, Joint Secretary of the National Maritime Board. The volume gives original view of Hopkins’ religious order, the colonial church, seamen’s ministry and covers for the first time the 1911 strike. It brings to life the story of a forgotten hero and the great influence he had on Catholic work for seamen. The book would appeal to anyone interested in seamen’s welfare and maritime history.
