Pavo Kamenarović

Pavo B. Kamenarović (Serbian Cyrilic: Паво Каменаровић; Dobrota near Kotor, Austrian Empire, 1 December 1821 - Dobrota, Principality of Montenegro, 1 July 1908) was a Serbian poet,ship captain and member of parliament.

Pavo Kamenarović was born to Božidar ("Božo") and Vidosava, a family of sailors and shipowners going back centuries. He was of the Roman Catholic faith, though Serbian by origin.His father gave him the name "Pavao" after his famous ancestor who was a well-known shipowner in Dobrota, though the family traces their roots further back than the eighteenth centuryor the seventeenth century.

Pavo was educated in Italian and Serbian grammar schools in Trieste and in Italian at a post-secondary college in Livorno. He passed the captain's exam and bought a ship Ljubezni with which he sailed to many ports.

The port of Boka Kotorska had a Navy, which was abolished by the Austrian government in Revolution of 1848. Pavao actively participated in the work of the Association for Maritime Insurance of Charity Ships which operated from 1858 to 1874. Enraptured by the ideas of the revival of his people, he entered political life and became an MP in the Dalmatian Parliament. He was also the president of the municipality of Dobrota for many years.

With his brother Vid, he was one of the most culturally deserving people for founding Slavjanska reading rooms in Dobrota. He wrote verses for weddings, carnivals, various Orthodox ceremonial occasions, as well as verses about the sad events he witnessed,all in the language of the common folk.Emphasizing the ideas of brotherhood, unity, and cooperation, he wrote the words for the Bokeljska circuit navy.
