Abstract
This article discusses some key aspects of labour migration in the eighteenth-century maritime labour market, focussing in particular on the changes that occurred over the course of the century and their effect on receiving and sending economies. These changes consisted not only of a marked expansion in the number of migrant workers engaged in the maritime sector; the characteristics of the migrant population were significantly altered as well. The article argues that the quantitative and qualitative changes in the maritime labour market caused the effects of migration in this important economic sector to change substantially throughout the century, having an impact on both the sending and receiving regions.
