This is going to be the strangest request, but are there any books that give any insight into ports, port life, and port jobs? Would like them from any time period, any place. In fact, the more diverse views of the goings on in ports the better. I also have a love of biplanes and seaplanes, and if there are any stories that involve details of planes or their workings I'd be interested in that too. The characters and story I'm flexible with, fiction or not too, but the story must have both or one of these things.
