Résumé
In the period between the 1830s and 1850s, Marseille’s merchant navy experiencedmajor change: a progressive transition from a free, clean and renewable but irreg-ular energy source —the wind— combined with a tried-and-tested technology andwell-developed training system, to a costly, cumbersome and polluting fossil fuel—coal— relying on a high-potential, complex and expensive converter, the steamengine. We have chosen to revisit this key moment in the long history of the Portof Marseille in light of recent historiographic contributions to economic, maritimeand environmental literature. Who were the stakeholders in this transition? Whatcircumstances led them to take an interest in this new mode of maritime transport?With what investments? Which technological sector provided support? What kindsof resistance did they encounter? In addition to these questions, we also wanted todetermine the consequences of these choices for traffic, practices, tools, operatingareas and the environment of the Port of Marseille.
