Malta's Grand Harbour
circa 1870: Sailing ships docked in the Grand Harbour, Malta.
Malta's Grand Harbour runs the length of the Sceberras peninsula covered by the city of Valletta and its suburb Floriana; its mouth faces St Elmo's Point at the tip of the Valletta peninsula and it is enclosed to the south by Ricasoli Point. The Sceberras peninsula also divides Grand Harbour from a second parallel natural harbour, Marsamxett Harbour.

The vessels, with their billowing sails and sturdy masts, stand proudly as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of shipbuilding during that period. It is as if they have momentarily paused in their journey, finding solace within these calm waters. The gentle line where water meets land adds depth and perspective to the composition. We can almost feel a cool breeze carrying whispers of distant lands across our faces as we imagine ourselves standing on those very shores.
