dockhand
Cargo loader ashore
A dockhand is a worker who loads and unloads ships or handles cargo at a dock or wharf.
The job involves manual labor—securing lines, moving freight, operating equipment.
The dockhands worked through the night to unload the container ship.
Also called a longshoreman or stevedore, though those terms sometimes imply union membership or specific duties.
