    Una aproximación integral al origen del champán en el Río Magdalena (Siglos XVI-XIX).
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones., 2024) Nieva Sanz, Daniel Miguel
    The connection between the interior of the New Kingdom of Granada and the ports of the Caribbean coast, as well as its link with the Crown since the mid-16th century, was possible through a navigation system supported by river boats that covered the navigable course of the Magdalena River. The definition of these nautical gadgets, beyond the established denomination, requires the assessment of the conceptual, morphological and functional aspects of these champanes, which played a strategic role for at least three centuries. In this way, the present application of a historiographical methodology with a nautical perspective on primary, manuscript and edited sources, as well as a comprehensive analysis, has allowed greater precision in the definition of champan and its role in one of the most relevant communication routes of Hispanic America throughout the Modern Age.
