This article analyzes the impact of the transition from sailing to steamships on the Argentine coast. To do this, first, we make an introduction about the totals of boats, fluvial and maritime of the last decades of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth that traveled the region. Secondly, we focus on river traffic and finally on the participation of the different ports in the dynamics, establishing their participation in the circulation of values and of the different goods transported. Our goal is to establish the impact that this transition had on the territory. The sources with which the research was approached are official: Censuses, Foreign Trade Yearbooks and Trade Reports.

Palabras clave : History of Argentina; River history; 19th century; 20th century.
