Port & River — 1945-1960
Hook, docker's case hook
This type of dockers hook was known as a 'case hook'. Unlike the standard hook which had a straight shaft, this type was bent so that the knuckles of the dockers' hand would not get crushed against the hard side of the wooden case or crate. This one was used in the London Dock, at Wapping.
