Abstract

The Royal Shipyards of Barcelona: the galley shipyard of the Spanish Monarchy (1599-1748)

This paper deals with the study of the Royal Shipyards of Barcelona in the 17th and 18th centuries. During this time the Shipyards continued with the construction of galleys until its final closure in 1746. The following article addresses several aspects of the institution: its historical evolution during this time, what ship production there was, how the ships were made, which materials were used, and what kind of professionals participated in shipbuilding.
All these aspects were conditioned by the political, economic and social situation of the time, which could facilitate or hinder the Shipyards’ existence as a builder of galleys for the monarchy.
