Sažetak

Among votive offerings of the Trsat Sanctuary collection, there are some atypical paintings as well: a votive tablet with a stone from the barque Ban Mažuranić, votive collages of the passenger steamships Titanic and Vulcania and silk flags from the voyages to China and Japan. Except in their topic and composition, they are different in their form, material and technique, as well as in the role their votaries played on board the ship. What is namely involved here, not including the votive tablet, are votive offerings made by warship sailors, catering officers and passengers from passenger ship. Since they did not belong to the centuries-long votive tradition, as the merchant ship sailors did, these ex voto differ considerably, and so do the information they reveal. That is how, by one and only look at this votive tablet, shaped by the very nature of the damage suffered, it testifies to how material evidence of a divine intervention has exceeded with all its power the classical votive presentation. Oriental embroidered paintings and silk flags, revive memories of military campaigns aimed at retaining the Far East territories and the then out posted symbols, while votive collages from the passenger ships witness how it was possible to make offerings to Our Lady of Trsat, even with a small amount of money and very little invention.
