This presentation offers a comprehensive overview of the methodologies employed to explore the transformation process of La Ciotat’s maritime society. The analysis will focus on the databases constructed for this research drawing from three primary sources: the nominative lists of the inhabitants of La Ciotat, the seamen registers in La Ciotat the second half of nineteenth century, and the registers of workforce entries in the shipyards of Messageries Maritimes from 1851 to 1911. The data of those sources were elaborated in the framework of the ERC research project SeaLiT: Seafaring Lives in Transition, Mediterranean Maritime Labour and Shipping, 1850s-1920s. Additionally, it will unveil the key results and insights derived, shedding light on the profound social impact of this transition.
