Living or working on a river

[edit]

I wonder if we should be more specific. I assumed this usually implied a person whose work involved transporting people on a boat (a bit like a ferryman); however, Chambers 1908 defines river-man as "one who makes his livelihood by dragging the river for sunken goods".
