Then, because of digging the railroad ditch through Lučac and Manuš, it was dislocated on the west side of harbor Matejuška, under rocks of Tomić family, where today is ex-hotel "Ambassador". Shipyard in the possession of the respectable family Košćina was operating on that location up to 1875. Historical sources revile us the earliest shipyard in the modern era, the shipyard "Košćina“, established in 1831 in district Lučac. Wherever the spectator looked, there were masts or sail. Shipyards were located in all parts of the city: Matejuška in the west, Lučac in the south, Lora and Supaval bay on the north and east. It was the time between two world wars, in which Split grew from impoverished city in the edge of Habsburg Empire to the main port of Kingdom of Yugoslavia. There wasn´t anything that those shipyards couldn´t do: from small repairs and maintenance, construction trawling fishing, sailing boats and motor yachts, passenger vessels, war, and patrol boats. Nearby, Vranjic and Solin had their own shipyard each, which can be counted as capacities of Split shipbuilding.
In the early 20th century, City of Split had seven shipyards.
