EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Senglea Maritime Festival, an annual event held in the picturesque harbor town of Senglea, Malta. The festival, which celebrates the town's rich maritime history, took place in 2009 and attracted visitors from all corners of the globe. The image showcases a number of replica vessels moored in the harbor, including a World War II submarine, a testament to Malta's significant role in Mediterranean naval history. The backdrop of the fortified walls of the historic town adds to the sense of grandeur and nostalgia. Senglea, also known as Isle of the Cicero, has a long and storied past. It was founded in 1551 by the Knights of St. John and has since been a key strategic location in the Mediterranean. The town's fortifications played a crucial role in the defense of Malta during World War II, particularly during the intense bombing campaigns of 1940 and 1941. The Senglea Maritime Festival is an opportunity for visitors to step back in time and experience the town's rich maritime heritage firsthand. The event features a variety of activities, including boat trips, live music, traditional Maltese food, and historical reenactments. It is a must-see for anyone with an interest in history, travel, or the sea. This photograph, taken in 2009, is a stunning reminder of the beauty and significance of Senglea and its maritime traditions. It is a testament to the enduring power of history to bring people together and inspire a sense of wonder and appreciation for the past.
