Abstract
La presente tesis pretende mostrar la importancia que tuvo la población de Canet de Mar en e comercio marítimo del siglo XVIII. La investigación efectuada ha permitido conocer quienes fueron los protagonistas, de que manera actuaron i cual fue el grado de su intevención. Las diferentes expediciones realizadas por los patrones catalanes, particularmente por los de Canet, muestran como tuvo lugar la participación del Principado en la llamada Carrera de Indias a lo largo del siglo XVIII. Los diferentes aspectos y relaciones entre armadores, fletadores, patrones y tripulación han sido estudiadas en cada una de las etapas cronológicas sucesivas en las que se ha dividido la citada centuria: 1700-1720 (precedentes); 1720-1740 (Barcelona-Cádiz); 1740-1765 (Primera etapa de la Carrera); 1765-1778 (Ley de Barlovento) i 1778-1800 (Libre Comercio). Se destacan las diferencias y singularidades de cada período referidas principalmente a los contratos de fletamiento (destino, coste, carga, condiciones, etc.) y a los de tripulación (salario, obligaciones, etc.). Capítol aparte han merecido los contratos de barcos catalanes realizados por la Real Hacienda durante el siglo en cuestión.
This thesis aims to demonstrate the important role of the population of Canet de Mar in the maritime trade of the 18th century. The research undertaken has revealed who the protagonists from Canet de Mar in this tradewere, the character of their actions and the extent of their interventions. The different expeditions led by Catalan skippers, particularly those from Canet, show the evolution of the participation of Catalonia in the so called Carrera de Indias during the 18th century. The diverse aspects and relationships between shipowners, charterers, skippers and ships’ crews have been studied in each one of the five successive chronological phases in which the above mentioned century has been divided: 1700-1720 (Precedents); 1720-1740 (Barcelona-Cadis); 1740-1765 (First phase of the Carrera); 1765-1778 (Law of Barlovento); and 1778-1800 (Free Trade). The thesis highlights the differences and particularities of each period with particular attention to the contracts of freightage (destination, cost, cargo, conditions, etc.) and of crew (wages, obligations, etc.). A specific chapter is dedicated to the contracts of Catalan ships issued by the Royal Treasury during this century.
