Copies of the book Unfurl Sails: the Mediterranean and its Ships have been donated to St Margaret Col­lege, which includes state schools in Cospicua,Vittoriosa, Senglea, Kalkara, Żabbar and Xgħajra.

The book was published as part of the Unfurl Sails exhibition held recently at the Malta Maritime Museum, Vittoriosa, by the Medi­terranean Civilisations Research Institute at Akdeniz University, Turkey.

The Cospicua Heritage Society arranged for the book donation to the school libraries to provide a record of the event that could inspire students to further their studies in this area.

The books were presented to college principal Maria McNamara by Parliamentary Secretary for Youth Chris  Agius.

Terrance Duggan, whose 40 pen drawings featured in the exhibition and in the book, also attended.
