Denying free travel abroad and back to one’s homeland represented an integral part of the communist regime’s authoritarian control in socialist Czechoslovakia. In this context, people who were allowed to travel abroad were in a privileged position. Paper concentrates on the experiences of people who “stayed at home”: the partners and children of workers who were able to travel and work abroad. The analysis of interviews with seafarers’ wives show a strong reproduction of gender stereotypes in these families. This fact is questioned very little by both men and women, because in the seafarer’s profession provided these families with a specific sort of luxury and uniqueness, bringing them considerable benefits that distinguished these people from the majority of the population.

The author presents the outcomes of oral history  research relating to the history of the Czechoslovak Maritime Shipping Company from 1959–1989 in the form of a case study. The interpretation of the accounts of seventeen former Czechoslovakian sailors focuses on two aspects: their professional and family lives. The author recognises that these two aspects of the sailors’ lives were very often in conflict with each other, concluding that their work was often much more significant than their family life; that although they realised the problems that their families faced, they were unable to help by giving the work up to be with their families.  The text is supplemented with a methodological reflection that focuses on the issue of a researcher’s emotional engagement to the research subject. Finally, the author presents thoughts on parallel and potential comparative studies between the lives of the Czechoslovakian sailors (from a country without direct sea access) and Poland (a country with a very rich maritime tradition).
