Sumario:This paper aims to show how fiscal sources allowed to approach a social sector of the regional port labor market that lived from the provision of goods and services for the navigation of the real service and for the supply of the troops settled in the Rio de la Plata Silver, or in transit to other destinations, in the long eighteenth century (1680-1810). Studying this social sector through fiscal sources allowed us to analyze how a portion of public expenditure on certain goods and services could boost the economy of Rio de Janeiro and distribute benefits among all sectors of society. This perspective allowed to analyze the people who worked in the satisfaction of the demands and to see if they obtained some degree of prosperity. The sources for analyzing this social sector are accounting records of certain witness events within the period 1680-1810: Carenas books, cash books and Suppliers' Balance Sheets, letters from the Caja de Buenos Aires and information from complementary bibliography on this subject in the specified period.
