Thanks to the Krk Steamboat Association, founded in \u0160ilo in 1905, the activity of shipping sand (locally known as \u2018mel\u2019) from \u0160ilo to Rijeka, Crikvenica, Opatija, etc. became permanently established. What preceded the shipping was the hard job of excavating the sand from Kava (between \u0160ilo and Polje). Afterwards, the sand was transported by a pulled wagon to the waterfront in \u0160ilo and then unloaded onto \u2018place\u2019, i.e. sand unloading places, wherefrom the sand was loaded onto ships. Yes, one must sail, but one must also live. And a sailor\u2019s bread is a bread with seven crusts (\u2018a pomorski je kruh, kruh sa sedam kora\u2019).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2870,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":[],"obj_vrsta_znamenitosti":[21],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.visitdobrinj.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/obj_znamenitosti\/2638"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.visitdobrinj.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/obj_znamenitosti"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.visitdobrinj.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/obj_znamenitosti"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.visitdobrinj.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2870"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.visitdobrinj.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"obj_vrsta_znamenitosti","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.visitdobrinj.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/obj_vrsta_znamenitosti?post=2638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
