Notes	The major trade movement which Jeddah witnessed through the 19th. century AD, was very active and dynamic, because of the nature of Jeddah itself as a great seaport in the Red Sea, and as the gateway to the two Holy Mosques in Makkah and al-Madinah. The study focused on Jeddah’s craftsmen in the19th.century AD, and their role in its society by digging deep into archival materials (from both British and Ottoman archives, as well as local references). The trade movement itself was accompanied by different families concerned with business and commerce. This was accompanied by the emergence of a professional communities focused on the service of pilgrims. The research topic focuses on craftsmen in Jeddah in the thirteenth century AH/nineteenth century AD, relying on scientific sources and references (including British and Ottoman archive documents, including reports of consuls and governors), in addition to what was reported by Muslim and European travelers when they visited Jeddah during that period. Jeddah was and still is one of the most important ports of the Red Sea, if not the most important (for several reasons, including: it being the gateway to the Two Holy Mosques, and the movement and services it requires for pilgrims to the Holy House of God and visitors to the Mosque of His Noble Messenger, may the best prayers and peace be upon him, in addition to being the western commercial sea entrance to the entire Arabian Peninsula), and for this reason it witnessed throughout its history the emergence and growth of a major commercial movement in all eras. This was accompanied by (or resulted from) the establishment of families concerned with trade and various professional crafts, and commercial houses of various sizes were formed: large ones, medium ones, and small ones. This was accompanied by the emergence of professional sects “unions” whose activities centered around serving pilgrims (such as transportation, guidance, porters, etc.). The research seeks to clarify this movement and focus on highlighting the roles of craftsmen in the life of Jeddah and its society during the thirteenth century AH / nineteenth century AD.
