El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar algunas de las estrategias que los estratos superiores de la sociedad cubana de mitad del siglo XIX utilizaron para promocionar socialmente. Para ello, se analizan las formas y mecanismos de ascenso social que algunas familias utilizaron cuando se interesaron por ingresar a sus vastagos en la oficialidad de la Armada a traves del Colegio Militar Naval (1845-1868), el principal centro formativo de la Marina situado en San Fernando (Cadiz). A mitad del Ochocientos se habia producido una renovacion de las elites cubanas debido al relativo desplazamiento de antiguas familias criollas que se habian asentado en la isla en los siglos anteriores. Un heterogeneo grupo, compuesto fundamentalmente por comerciantes al por mayor, hacendados, propietarios, funcionarios y militares, llego a convertirse por entonces en el estrato social rector. El trabajo ha sido dividido en tres partes: la primera es un examen de los origenes sociales de los guardiamarinas cubanos que ingresan en dicha institucion; la segunda aborda un analisis de las relaciones, redes e influencias que estas familias desplegaron para acceder a la Armada; y la tercera analiza los mecanismos que desarrollaron estas parentelas para conseguir un ascenso social efectivo y las formas de representacion de su supremacia social. PALABRAS CLAVE: elites, familias, Cuba, Colegio Naval, siglo XIX. ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to study some of the strategies that the upper-middle class of mid-19th-century Cuban society employed in order to climb socially. To this end, there is analysis of the forms and mechanisms of social advancement that some families used when attempting tointroduce their offspring into the naval officer corps through the Naval College (1845-1868), which was located in San Fernando, Cadiz. By the mid-nineteenth century there had been a regeneration of the Cuban elites owing to the displacement of the old Creole families, who had settled on the island in previous centuries, by peninsular landowners and merchants that had arrived recently. The article is divided into three parts: the first section is an examination of the social backgrounds of Cuban midshipmen ho joined the navy in the 1840s, 1850s, and 1860s; the second part is an analysis of the relationships, networks, and influences that these families deployed in order to enter the Naval College; and the third analyzes the mechanisms that they developed in order to obtain effective social advancement and the forms of representation of their social supremacy. KEY WORDS: families, elites, Cuba, Naval College, 19th century
