Opatija in 1906 - Departure (or Arrival)

Photo of Opatija in 1906

Opatija in 1906 - an interesting photo of large group of people at and near the boat, arriving or departing [or both (?)] to/from Opatija. Most of people are, we assume, members of middle class (the only one who could afford traveling at the time). That shows on their outfits of fashionable hats, shirts, suits and skirts . We are not sure are they Croats or foreigners. The only thing we could be sure of is broad identity of women with head scarf at the bottom right corner of the photo - the women that holds hands of two young girls with hats. She is the only one on the photo that wares traditional outfit of Croatian peasant women. We assume she was servant in a wealthy family, looking after children, so she ended up being photographed on this photo too. Note - At the time, Opatija was called Abbazia ( hence printed title of the photo)
