Soul of a Port:The History and Evolution of the Port of
Milwaukee
E ver since her boat drifted up against the mammoth
docks in Milwaukee’s harbor, Leah Dobkin has been enthralled by the
evolution of the port and the city so firmly moored to it. From an
era when it was a “Milwaukee Miracle” to make landfall without
losing luggage to a promising future powered by alternative energy,
Soul of a Port is steered by that same sense of wonder. And since
the port’s story is not just one of nuts, bolts and cranes,
Dobkin’s narrative is also well crewed by the characters who have
given the place such a fascinating legacy. Settle in for an
entertaining passage that includes a longshoreman’s poetry, the
Milwaukee Clipper’s recipe for prime rib, a tugboat ghost story and
much, much more.
