les petits ports, acteurs essentiels de l’espace baltique au xviiie siècle

Northern Europe is a very active economic area in the 18th century. Many small harbours are involved in all kinds of exchanges but the network is more or less developed according to the different countries. The geographical conditions but also the economic policies run by states are the reasons for this. The more active harbours also show much dynamism by seizing opportunities and by taking advantage of the circumstances to increase their activities.
