Bogdana Marinac Published by: Pomorski muzej-Museo del mare "Sergej Mašera" Piran-Pirano, Piran, 2003 In blue and white – Navy uniforms from the collection of the Maritime Museum "Sergej Mašera" Piran
The uniforms introduced in the Navy in the 17th century greatly influenced, together with various regulations related to them, the way of life of men serving in the Navy. The Habsburg Empire began to introduce them in the eastern Adriatic during the second half of the 18th century. Later on, however, a series of pieces of clothing for mariners of different professions and ranks and uniforms for various occasions were prescribed for the Navies. In merchant navies, uniforms were compulsory primarily on passenger ships and in port services, where fewer types of uniforms were prescribed and where regulations were not as strict and exact as in the Navies. On cargo ships, they were worn only occasionally.
