Summary/Abstract: One of the most important ship building yards during the first Yugoslav state was the Split Ship-building Yard «South». It was established in 1918 by a number of Croatian investors, individuals and companies across the whole territory from Trieste to Dubrovnik. Even though if the territory from which these investors originated was later shrunk, this company represented an interesting model of overcoming local conflicts in terms of the structure of its investment during its whole existence. Unfortunately, this is a branch of the economy that requires much greater financial support, or at least more support and protection from the state. As a result, during the 1930s domestic capital was forced to withdraw in favour of foreign capital, in this case French capital, whose entrance into the domestic ship-building market was supported by the state.
