Abstract: Abstract Cristina reconstructs the features and dynamics of the maritime traffic of goods and people at the port of Catania during the first half of the nineteenth century. Particular attention is paid to the several typologies of cabotage, especially during the transition from sail to steam. Cabotage along the Eastern Sicilian coast adapts to its peculiar settlement and urban structure. Starting from a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the shipping movements recorded by the Maritime Police registers of Catania, ports appearing in the sources are classified as nodes with their own functions within the Eastern Sicilian coastal corridor.
