Notes:
Mali Lošinj (Italian: Lussinpiccolo) is a town and municipality in the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, on the island of Lošinj, in western Croatia.
In 1868, it experienced its golden year. There were as many as eleven shipyards, and it became the place with the largest & most-developed merchant marine in the Adriatic Sea, even ahead of cities like Rijeka, Trieste &Venice.
American author Kenneth Roberts observed that the little town, like some in southern Maine, seemed to have "produced a hundred seamen for each one produced elsewhere." Writing in 1938, Roberts said there were currently "four hundred sea captains living on Lussinpiccolo."
Previously part of the Venetian Republic, Mali Lošinj passed under Austrian-Hungarian rule in 1797, with the Treaty of Campo Formio. The ile remained under Austrian-Hungarian rule until 1918. After World War I, under the provisions of the Treaty of Rapallo, it was given to the Kingdom of Italy. In 1947, it was incorporated into Yugoslavia. Its incorporation into socialist Yugoslavia led to mass emigration of the Italian population. After World War II, there were only 2,200 residents left. In 1991, it became part of present-day Croatia.
