EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1910s, showcases the breathtaking view of Valletta, Malta's Grand Harbour from the Barrakka lift. The Barrakka lift, a historic funicular railway, connects the Grand Harbour to the Upper Barrakka Gardens and the city centre of Valletta. The image reveals the grandeur of the harbor, dotted with vessels of the Royal Navy Mediterranean fleet. The British Royal Navy was a dominant naval power in the Mediterranean Sea during this era, and the presence of battleships and other naval vessels in the harbor was a common sight. The photograph captures the majestic ships, their sails fully hoisted, anchored in the harbor, their silhouettes contrasting against the clear blue sky. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich maritime history of Valletta and Malta during the early 20th century.
