The fate of a dockworker

My great-great-grandfather Joseph Debondt was a docker. I didn't know that. I never heard about him. His painful and abrupt end of life is not a story that his wife and my great-great-grandmother, Sophia Goris, will have loved to pass on. Some 120 years later, I'll let you discover his story with me.

The fate of a dockworker

My great-great-grandfather Joseph Debondt was a docker. I didn't know that. I never heard about him. His painful and abrupt end of life is not a story that his wife and my great-great-grandmother, Sophia Goris, will have loved to pass on. Simply because it was too hard to tell. But now, some 120 years later, let me help you discover his story. The fate of a dockworker.
