A chuva veio com fúria e lavou o cais, amassou a areia, balançou os navios atracados, revoltou os elementos, fez com que fugissem todos aqueles que esperavam a chegada do transatlântico. Um homem na estiva disse ao companheiro que ia haver tempestade.

That means "in the hard work of the harbor". I think this also means "stevedore's job".
