Malvinas y el mundo: registros portuarios históricos de las islas (1826-1832 y 1842-1914)

Abstract

The historical shipping records of the Malvinas Islands coasts allow us to explore the maritime connections that the archipelago had between 1826 and 1914. The reconstruction of such connections, integrated with heterogeneous information from different archives and databases of historical voyages, makes it possible to identify the activities and needs that brought ships to the Malvinas Islands, the different actors that were part of their history, the change in the maritime relation before and after the British occupation of 1833, and the international connections of the archipelago with different points in continental Patagonia and the strait of Magellan.
