THE PORT OF MARSEILLE CITY

In 1938, Marseille experienced a terrible fire that totally destroyed the Nouvelles Galeries store, caused the death of 73 people and damaged some buildings in the Canebière. Faced with the scale of the disaster, the Marseille firefighters, poorly equipped and poorly trained, proved powerless to extinguish the fire. Édouard Daladier, who was present for the Radical Party congress and housed in the Noailles hotel facing the burning Nouvelles Galeries, declared: Is there no one to bring order to this city? .

The Marseilles Battalion of Sailors and Firemen, a military unit, was created by the decree-law of July 29, 1939 and the city, which also had serious financial problems, was placed under guardianship and led by an extraordinary administrator until the Liberation in 1944.

The 19th century, with its procession of industrial innovations (including the appearance of steam navigation), the end of barbarian piracy and the free trade treaties of the 1860s, the colonial conquests of France from 1830 onwards and the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, stimulated maritime trade and the prosperity of the city, which grew from around 300,000 inhabitants in 1870 to around 600,000 in 1940.

The port area extends beyond its historical perimeter (the Old Port) and from 1844 onwards, it extends to the northern shores. The present Joliette basins were opened in 1853, those of Lazaret and Arenc in 1856. The most famous bank of Marseille was then the one created by Pierre Pascal II at the beginning of the Empire.
