А это Аргентинский период.
in 1816 the Buenos Aires Congress of Representatives formally declared the independence of the United Provinces of the River Plate,claiming the Falkland/Malvinas Islands as a successor to the Viceroyalty of the River Plate.
The actual Argentine presence in the Falkland/Malvinas Islands began four years later, in 1820, when the Buenos Aires government commissioned the frigate Heroína, under the command of Colonel D. Jewitt, to take formal possession of the Islands. The captains and crews of approximately fifty foreign vessels in the archipelago at the time witnessed without protest the formal Argentine ceremony held on 6 November 1820. Jewitt made a point of notifying all of the vessels (many of which were American) “of the new laws of the United Provinces forbidding hunting and fishing in the islands.”Newspapers such as The Times of Londonand the Salem Gazette in the United States reported this ceremony unremarkably. The Salem Gazette, for example, printed a copy of Jewitt’s circular reporting the Argentine ceremony of taking possession of the Falkland/Malvinas Islands.
In spite of this publicity, the governments of the United States and Great Britain did not at the time challenge the Argentine claim of sovereignty over the Falkland/Malvinas Islands. In fact, even when Great Britain recognized the independence of Argentina in 1825 by signing the Anglo-Argentine Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation, the British government made no reservations against the widely publicized Argentine formal claim to the Islands.
In the 1820's, Argentina continued to affirm its control of the Islands and to impose the regulations that would eventually lead to a conflict with U.S.commercial vessels fishing, whaling, and sealing in the archipelago. First, on 22 October 1821, the Buenos Aires legislature passed a law restricting the exploitation of fisheries and the hunting of amphibious animals on the Patagonian shores and the islands adjacent.Second, in 1823 the Buenos Aires government formally established its dominion by appointing Pablo Areguati as governor of the Islands. Third, also in 1823, the Argentine government initiated a settlement program by granting land concessions in the archipelago to Jorge Pacheco and Luis Vernet. Fourth, in 1828 the Argentine government granted additional land concessions in the Islands to Vernet in order to facilitate his efforts to establish a prosperous colony. Fifth, on 10 June 1829 the Argentine government issued a decree that reaffirmed its claim to the Falkland/Malvinas
Islands as the successor to Spain, placed these Islands as well as those adjacent
to Cape Horn in the Atlantic Ocean under one governorship, mandated that the governor reside on the Island of Soledad (East Falkland or Malvina Oriental), and charged the governor especially with the responsibility to “provide for the due performance of the Regulations respecting Seal Fishery on the Coasts.” Great Britain was not affected by the specific Argentine fishing restrictions because, according to Vernet’s interpretation, the British fishing rights were protected by the Treaty of Saint Lawrence of1790.
