I totally believe you. I was trained as a merchant marine deck officer at a time when many of my instructors were still at sea as containers were beginning to become popular. My Dry Cargo instructor in particular told of going in to SE Asia ports and expecting to be there for 3 weeks unloading & loading break-bulk cargo and getting drunk every night. After the switch to containers, they were lucky to be in port for 20 hours and had no time to go ashore.
