In his letter Gem Of A Ship Should Be On Display (June 9), Roy Capelin's view is that opportunities for tourist/heritage projects aren't tapped adequately in Malta.

He has a point. In the UAE, Sharjah, entrepreneurship seems to be top priority. On June 7, the Maritime Museum was inaugurated to celebrate marine life and history that includes photographs of ships, sail boats, fishing gear, etc.

The museum also has a gift shop with souvenirs related to maritime life. This project created jobs. There are also plans for a "maritime park".
