Description

The Swedish ship Nordica arrives at Larne to a piped greeting. National Union of Seamen pickets are on hand to protest and many are signing up to pay their dues. 

The Seamens' strike, called by the National Union of Seamen, ran from May to July 1966. It was based on a demand for better hours and pay and caused major disruption nationwide.
