What does 'na estiva' mean in the sentence below? What does 'na estiva' mean in the sentence below? How can it be translated into English? Thank you for your help. 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".

There are many means to Estiva... but in this case I think the most apropriated is: The place in a harbor where the boats are loaded with products or stuffs.
