Overview Harbor 1.

The roof just behind the boats, are actually used by the owner of a snackbar.

Thanks for this picture, Cyrus! :-)


 
Industry The industrial area is located directly next to harbor 1, here in photographers back.
Along the way up, to left and to the right, there are lots of workshops located, e.g. E-shop, locksmith, printing house, glasser and shops for packaging or chemical processes, like galvanizing or something.

One of the workshops to the left carries just above its entry in big red letters the following citation of Josip Broz Tito:

MI GRADIMO GOLI OTOK - GOLI OTOK GRADI NAS
ZIVIO TITO


WE BUILD GOLI OTOK - GOLI OTOK BUILDS UP US
THREE CHEERS FOR TITO


Industry There were built several large halls for production purposes in the lower area of the industrial zone.

Industry Sorry, but there are no hints to find what's the real abandonment's of this halls.

Question: What was produced here?

According to my reader Angelika S. there was built furniture, which is mainly exported to the United States.

Thanks for that hint!
 


Drawing What was the prisoners thinking when looking to that drawing? Remember that Goli is known as a cruel hell!

Furniture All children close your eyes! :o)

In a small room I found this furniture, mostly placarded with nude girls.
Such "galleries" you can find all over the island, but not alls favorite theme is the female sex, sometimes it is motor biking or fast cars.


Firestation On the upper end of the industrial area you can find this fire station.
Hoses and fire extinguisher are laying all around here, but they're no more useable for sure.

Industry View from the upper end of the road crossing the industrial area, direction harbor 1.
In the background the beloved tourism-island Rab.
The psychic stress must be really high for the prisoners: The paradise in direct view, just 5 minutes far away by boat...

Those who also visited Goli and stood here, surely wondered about the red double line crossing the road here, marked with the letters ZABRANJENO PUSENJE. That means nothing else like NO SMOKING.
