Sumario: | The increasing weight of Britain in the Black Sea trade towards the mid 19th century is reflected in Ottoman registers. According to these registers showing the entry and the exit of British vessels to and from the straits, the relatively stable British Black Sea trade conducted through the 1840’s tended to increase in the second half of the decade; the Black Sea posed as a supply region for British ships; the articles of export from the Black Sea consisted of the agricultural products, the items of husbandry and the raw materials; the Danubian ports emerged as alternative channels of import for British vessels in spite of the ongoing ascendancy of Russian ports on the Northern Black Sea; as far as the imports into the Black Sea is concernced, a direct trade without any intermediaries was established between Britain and the Black Sea; this aspect of the course of trade was visible in the composition of the trade articles; and the Greek element, which was supposed to have ruled over the British trade in the Black Sea, could not be detected in the findings of the research. |
