I was there just yesterday on my usual round the three old cities tour. The marina and the overall development there have really taken good shape. The Maritime Museum has also added some more interesting exhibits and the book by Joseph Abela, the master model maker of the Museum called "The Maltese Merchant Fleet of the 19th Century" is a fascinating treasure trove for maritime historians and researchers.
Nice, well done.

Beautiful picture! Looks like a prestigious Schranz painting! Is there a way to get a full resolution image Darrin?

T Mifsud.Good idea,but I suggest that you wait until that part of the bastion is restored., because it will ruin your print.They are doing a very good job restoring our awsome bastions,there are a lot of them,but eventually you can have your print,I think that all kinds of boats pass regularly from that area so for an excellent post card I would wait a little bit longer.

This is a "Dgħajsa tal pass", so called because they used to be licenced by the Port Auxiliary Service to ferry paying passengers in Grand Harbour. It is a pity that the traditional building of these lovely craft in wood has become horribly expensive, to the extent that replicas are being built in fibreglass.
