The high seas have been the backdrop of many a tale, with swashbuckling pirates, mythical sea creatures, terrible battles and long lasting legends. For its next talk, Flimkien għal Ambjent Aħjar takes a dive into the deep to discover the world of corsairing under the Knights of Malta during the late 1700s.

Museum curator and author of the recently-launched book, In the name of the Prince: Maltese Corsairs 1760-1798, Liam Gauci reveals the fascinating history of corsairing which was only stopped by the British in 1820. The event will take place at the President’s Palace in Valletta on April 12 at 6.30pm under the patronage of President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca.

Refreshments will be served after the talk.

A €10 donation will go towards FAA’s restoration of the medieval altarpiece at St Mark church in Rabat.
