Sažetak
This paper is based on the author's years-long research of the experience of fishermen of the island of Vis, their ethics and mutual relationships in the extreme conditions of fishing at distant open sea islands of the Adriatic where they were continously exposed to pirate attacks, open sea elements, with boats powered by wind or man, in small living quarters of a boat and fiercely competing with each other for survival. In such extreme conditions the only answer to the challenge of survival was mutual solidarity, willingness to help another, the principle of egalitarianism and mutual respect. The author also speaks about the transethnic culture of people living at sea, the phenomenon of the sea as the liquid element which does not divide but rather connects different shores, cultures and languages. He speaks about the insular world whose most important social principle is - work, manufacture as the basis of survival, sacrificing for another and high value of an individual who deserves to be held in esteem through his work and sacrifice as the corrective of selfish interests.
