Abstract

The study of the establishment and operation of the maritime space on the Atlantic coasts of the Capitanía General de Guatemala has been little addressed. One of the main reasons is because the existing historiography production refers to themes related to the political, social, and religious system, the economic system being the least investigated. Despite this limitation, at the beginning of the 1990s, some Guatemalan authors considered that the maritime economy represented a fundamental aspect for the development of the Reino de Guatemala. However, a few years later an abandonment in the investigations of this thematic line is observed, until recently they were taken up by studies by foreign experts. In this context, this short article presents a critical synthesis of previous work on the topic of interest, raised from different disciplines, pointing out areas and questions that have not yet been answered to propose the development of new inquiries and thereby demonstrate the possibility of adopting new investigative perspectives.
