River trade, with salt and wine, reached its peak in the 19th-20th century with cognac. Brandies, cereals, stones from Saintonge, wood and paper from Angoulême, arrived by barge as far as the Charente and were unloaded directly onto the boats at the quay. The port of Tonnay-Charente stretches over 1450m of quay. It is located 27km from the mouth and can accommodate vessels up to 90m long, weighing up to 10,000 tons and with a draft of 6.50m
