Abstract

There has been an effort to incorporate defining of rights and duties of members of boat crew into more ancient resources maritime law of Croatian Adriatic. Without going further back to the past, such legal regulation can be seen as soon as in 1272 in Statute of Dubrovnik, but also in Austrian National advertisement on trade sailing from 1774. Those two legal monuments are good to compare, because one of them originates from the South and the other one, at the time of its creation, regulated the maritime economy in Croatian Primorje, which is in the Northern part of Croatian Adriatic. There are, of course, many centuries between them.
In this work, the attention is directed towards the sailor's apprentice, a member of crew with least rights and the most duties. Since there is a big lack of comparative research on rights and duties of crew members, in our historical science, it is possible that this text will encourage other scientists to deal with similar research regarding the other workers on our boats during history.
