Shipwrecks of Malta

Malta’s maritime history stretches from the time of the Phoenician’s to present day. In particular, Malta had significant strategic importance during the first and second world wars as a central island located in the Mediterranean Sea. In 1942, during the Second World War, Malta became center stage in a show-down between Britain and Germany. As a key location for the Allies, Germany sought to overtake Malta. Malta was relentlessly bombed and war ships and convoys were attacked in an attempt to break the resupply lines. Malta and the Allies prevailed, and today Malta is a time capsule of war history. Join us as we explore Malta and some of its most notable shipwrecks.
