Sažetak

Austrian efforts directed toward the eastern Adriatic were concentrated on strenghtening Trieste as the main maritime and trading centre and consequently the establishment of nautical schools along the Adriatic was aimed actually to provide adequately qualified personnel for Austrian merchant shipping and navy. The foreign governments’ maritime policy in the XIX and XX century (Austro-Hungarian Empire, Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians, and Yugoslavia) was in fact „bargaining and surrendering to foreign capital, and least of all maritime“, with a great caution consequently developed in the native population against the „fatherly“ and „false concern“. Capt. Pavo Saltarić of Rijeka dubrovačka (Ombla) used to serve as an “authorized teacher of nautical science, hydrography and
mathematics” and was one of the first “competitors to the nautical science programme at the Nautical
School of Dubrovnik”, whose private school (within the former General Hospital located at the Boninovo) had been active since 1843 and attended by more numerous students than the state school
established in 1852. Full time teaching programme of the newly established nautical schools started at Bakar (1849), Zadar (1850), Split (1850), Kotor (1850) and Dubrovnik (1852), in addition to already established schools of Trieste and Rijeka. Some time later, some of them were temporarily dissolved, i.e. nautical schools of Zadar (1860 and 1867), Split (1879), Rovinj (1860) and Dubrovnik (1860) due to shortage of students. Following the restructuring of education, the nautical school of Dubrovnik became “Nautical academy” in 1922, subsequently succeeded by “Nautical and Merchant Academy” in 1932. In 1947, the school was named “Nautical Technical Training School”. Based on the founder’s last will, the means bequeathed to the “Ivo Račić Foundation” were intended for the establishment of a Merchant Marine College, scholarships and grants for students, and have been used for that purpose until today. The premises of the present Nautical School was built at Lapad in the period 1952 - 1954. The Nautical Educational Centre was the result of the merger between the Merchant Marine College and the Nautical School of Dubrovnik in 1969. The Faculty of Maritime Studies of Dubrovnik was established in 1984. and the Polytechnic of Dubrovnik late in 1996 and early in 1997, later to develop into the University of Dubrovnik late in 2003. Under the sponsorship of the local shipping company “Atlantska plovidba”, Nautical School was recently equipped by simulators and similar equipment, as a contribution to mutual respect for the continued tradition of nautical education in Dubrovnik and the RC to be carried on.
