The Barceloneta I<\/em> ship and the origins of the modern port<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

In 2008, the remains of a 15th-century sailing vessel were uncovered next to the Barcelona Fran\u00e7a railway station at the excavation site of the South bastion of the city’s old Sea wall and first artificial wharf. The ship was christened the Barceloneta I<\/em>. The existence of this vessel, hailing from the Cantabrian coast and probably of Basque origin, in the Barcelona of that period is something of an oddity. No other vessel like it has ever been found elsewhere in the Mediterranean, thereby further heightening Barcelona\u2019s importance as a trading hub since, for more than 400 years, between the 13th and the 16th centuries, the city was one of the key ports in international trade and maritime law in the region.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The Port of Barcelona, in its steadfast commitment to the city\u2019s port-related and maritime heritage, has partnered up with the Museum of History of Barcelona to conserve and exhibit the ship. By dint of this partnership, the Barceloneta I<\/em> can now be seen in the antechamber of the Palau Reial Major, between the Tinell Room and the chapel of Saint Agatha.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The project has also given birth to this virtual exhibition, which seeks to disseminate the outstanding knowledge gleaned from the archaeological, historic, restoration, conservation and exhibition of the ship and make it available to the general public. The Port of Barcelona realises the importance of the history that shapes us and encourages us to continually seek new horizons.<\/p>\n

Etching of a view of Barcelona as seen from Montju\u00efc, published in 1572 in the Civitates Orbis Terrarum book. The original work, dating from 1535, was by Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen, a Dutch painter and tapestry designer in the employ of Emperor Charles V. AHCB<\/p>\n

On the right side of the picture of this etching, which dates from 1535, under the rainbow and in front of the seaboard wall, projecting out towards a sea peppered with ships and galleys in formation – perhaps assembled for the expedition to Tunis that same year – the shape of the first wharf of Barcelona, built as of 1477, can be made out. When Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen painted this picture, the wharf already concealed the remains of the vessel which were discovered in May 2008 under the South bastion at the dig site between the Fran\u00e7a railway station and the Barceloneta district. The ship, dating from the mid-15th century, was christened Barceloneta I<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Consulate of the Sea and sea trade in the 15th century<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The Catalonian men of the sea were granted privileges to manage sea trade independently, firstly through the Universitat dels Prohoms de Ribera [University of Great Men of Ribera] in 1258 and 20 years later through the Consulate of Traders. The Consulate of the Sea was founded in the mid-14th century and was headquartered in the Llotja, an iconic public building where merchants and traders gathered to do business. Two consuls and a judge represented Catalan trading affairs abroad and dealt with any complaints in accordance with the local adaptation of maritime law that was enforced throughout the Mediterranean. Barcelona was granted Royal privileges to appoint foreign consuls abroad and to oversee the city\u2019s trade expansion directly. By the 15th century, there were already more than 80 such consuls, including those operating out of Majorca.<\/p>\n
