Strike of 1750

[Steve Maas]

I don't have my M&D handy, but I'm assuming you're referring to the 
keelmen's strike on the Tyne.  Some info. I posted in the first MDMD can be 
seen under "Strike of 1750" at:

The only references I could find were to strikes in the 19th century. I'm 
not sure whether to put this down as another error or anachronism, like the 
mention of the famous oarsman, Harry Clasper (1812-1870) on p. 100, who 
Terrance looked up recently. I'm not even really sure if it's miner's 
strikes or dock- or river-worker's strikes I should be searching for.
