Zadar,
a city and port in central Dalmatia. The old town, located on a sheltered
peninsula with a suitable natural harbour, had good opportunities
for establishing of traffic connections with the hinterland. Zadar
had the most favourable combination of heavy sea routes from Ravenna,
Venice or Trieste with the Eastern Adriatic system of channel traffic.
More difficult navigation conditions for sailing ships at the open
sea in regards to channel navigation have rendered Zadar a port of
rest, where ships can be repaired and get their supply. Together with
the development of steamships and motor ships, the port of Zadar became
too narrow and too shallow for large vessels. |
