Abstract

Središnja tema rada usmjerena je na vojnopomorsku karijeru Bokelja Vicka Dabovića, kapetana mletačkog bojnog broda Vittoria II u posljednjim godinama 18. stoljeća. Rad se zasniva na uvidu u postojeća saznanja iz historiografije (opći podaci o obitelji Dabović) te, ponajprije, na raščlambi gradiva iz mletačkog Državnog arhiva (zbirka Provveditori all’Armar). U središnjem dijelu rada analizira se sastav posade broda Vittoria II prema popisima načinjenim od 1. rujna 1794. do 24. rujna 1795. godine. Popisi ljudstva na brodu Vittoria II donose se u prilogu na kraju rada.Central theme of this article is directed towards naval military career of Vicko Dabović from Boka, the captain of Venetian ship Vittoria II in the last years of the eighteenth century.
