An account of the remarkable life of Charles Plomer Hopkins, the maritime chaplain and trades unionist who led the first international seamen's strike.
'This is a very detailed book.. it throws a powerful light on an interesting and idiosyncratic figure, and does not avoid dealing with the controversial features of the subject's life' Michael Yelton, author of Anglican Papalism: A History (2008), Alfred Hope Patten: The Shrine of Our Lady at Waslingham (2006), Anglican-Church Buildings in London, 1915-1945 (2007) '...Hopkins is an interesting figure who is not well known. Miller has thoroughly researched his life and done admirable detective work with somewhat scanty resources[...] ...This book gives us some insight into Hopkins and demonstrates his importance...' Suzanne Geissler, Anglican & Episcopal History, Vol. 82, Number 1, March 2013
Currently a Catholic Priest in the west of England, Robert Miller has been a long-time student of Maritime Social History and member of the Society for Nauthical Research and the International Maritime Economic History Association.
