Extraction of coal in the river Krka valley (in the 18th and 19th centuries)
Dragan Markovina
Sažetak
By observing the period of the late 18th and the early 19th century, the paper presents and discusses different initiatives concerning coal extraction in Dalmatia, particularly in the hinterland of Šibenik. Due to a noticeable breakthrough in shipping and commerce in the latter half of the 18th century, as well as the ensuing development of the proto-industrial manufacture and plants in the area of Dalmatia, some initiatives emerged pointing in the direction of coal extraction. In the 1830-ies however, despite the somewhat oscillating success of initial excavations in the late 18th century, a gradual economic development, combined with the founding of the Lloyd in Trieste, seem to have given an impetus to coal extraction in the mines of Siverić, as well as to an increase in the turnover, trade and services of the Port of Šibenik.
