Abstract

Campomanes Reflexiones sobre el comercio español a Indias (written in 1762) include two chapters dealing with the convenience of promoting Spanish fisheries in America. The project aimed at setting up factories for whale and sea-wolf hunting in Patagonia (Bahía de San Julián and Puerto Deseado). Campomanes’ ideas, which were shared by the enlightened circle near the government, met the establishment of the Real Compañía Marítima in 1789.
