Description

edit

In addition to explaining, as the title says, the history of the Catalan Navy starts digging in a detailed area especially about the period from the Middle Ages to well into the sixteenth century, detailing the important aspects of the catalan merchant navy, which made Catalonia one of the commercial powers of the Mediterranean.[4]

It is not limited to ships, the organization of maritime transport, trade and Catalan maritime law, political events and the war at sea, but culminates the essay by immersing in the study of the men of the sea, helped by the art and science of maritime navigation accomplished by the Catalans.[5]
