Abstract

To generations of people inhabiting the eastern shores of
the Adriatic Sea the name Jugolinija was and remains a symbol
of a large and prestigious fleet ruling the ocean lanes. One could
say: more than a symbol, almost a myth. In fact, Jugolinija was
one of the largest liner shipping companies in the world, which
ordered nearly one hundred brand new ships for its fleet between
1949 and 1989. Really impressive figures!

Keywords
