In this article we address the study of Barceloneta in the 19th century in light of the theoretical and conceptual proposals that historiography has developed for the study of those societies that live from their relationship with the sea, especially in the urban sphere. Thereupon, we define the situation of Barceloneta in the mid-19th century as that of a consolidated urban maritime community, a place of residence for maritime and port workers and the favored area for the economic activities related to shipbuilding and shipping supplies. We also draw a socio-demographic profile of Barceloneta in the second half of the century, which allows us to define it as a precarious urban space, with high and increasing mortality rates and a very young social structure, slightly masculinized in relation to the city. Finally, we study the gaze that urban elites and authorities developed towards the neighborhood, which was closely associated with hygienic and moral concerns about this social space as it was perceived as disruptive. El proceso de formación de la Barceloneta explica en buena medida el carácter marítimo de un barrio situado inmediatamente tras el puerto y apartado de la ciudad amurallada. En este artículo abordamos el estudio de la Barceloneta en el siglo XIX a la luz de las propuestas teóricas y conceptuales que la historiografía ha desarrollado para el estudio de aquellas sociedades que viven de su relación con el mar, en especial en el ámbito urbano. A continuación, definimos la situación de la Barceloneta a mediados del siglo XIX como el de una comunidad marítima urbana consolidada, lugar de residencia de los trabajadores marítimos y portuarios y espacio predilecto de las actividades económicas ligadas a la construcción naval y al aprovisionamiento de buques. Asimismo, trazamos un perfil sociodemográfico de la Barceloneta en la segunda mitad del siglo, lo que nos permite definirla como un espacio urbano precarizado, con elevados y crecientes tasas de mortalidad y con una estructura social muy joven y ligeramente masculinizada respecto a la ciudad. Finalmente, estudiamos la mirada que las élites y autoridades urbanas desarrollaron sobre el barrio, estrechamente asociada a preocupaciones higiénicas y morales sobre un espacio social percibido como disruptivo.
