Abstract

In this paper, a quantitative analysis of direct French imports to the Baltic is presented, based on a converted version of the Sound toll registers online for the period 1670-1850. It is examined how the available transport space, that was employed in direct trade between France and the Baltic, was used. The dominant products taken on board are analysed; the geography of French imports to the Baltic is discussed. Structural changes in the volumes imported to the Baltic of the main product categories are interpreted as the result of the reconfiguration of the role of Russian and Prussian ports in the Baltic, the decline of Dutch commercial dominance and the emergence of modern structures of commercial exchange.
