Resumo:
The present work proposed to study the life of sailors in Bahia, in more detail
in Salvador, in the second half of the 19th century, seeking to understand this
field of work in which there were free and enslaved people working side by side
in the final period of Brazilian slavery. The focus was to draw a socio- racial
profile of these sailors, both from the merchant navy and from the Imperial
Navy, in order to understand their life trajectories and resistance to the
institutions that dominated them.
