Abstract

In this first part of this article Ivan Pederin describes the types of ships, their equipment and the shipyards in XIVth and XVth Century Dalmatia. So we know what a ship at this time was like, what types of ships sailed in Croatian Adriatic, what parts this ship had, what equipment and material were used to build a ship and how a ship was equiped. There is also a review of fishing tools and equipment.
In the second part of this article Ljerka Simunkovic wrote a linguistic examination of these terms which derive from the Greek and Latin, a clear hint, that there is a continuity in shipbuilding and navigation from Antiquity to the Middle Ages. Some terms and also types of ship are of Arabic origin.
