Heritage Malta is holding its last historical interpretation this season at the Malta Maritime Museum in Vittoriosa, on Sunday 25 March between 2pm and 4.30pm.

Visitors interested in Malta’s naval history will have the opportunity to learn more about the Maltese sailor under the Order of St John and in the Royal Navy on naval vessels during the late 18th Century and early 19th Century.

Historical interpreters will depict various roles including sailors, gunners and soldiers on the gallery battalions. They will give information about the weapons and the fighting techniques used as well as details about daily life on board.

The historical interpreters will also perform a musketry drill and fire a naval cannon.

Two guided tours in Maltese incorporating these displays will take place at 2pm and 3.30pm.

As part of each tour, Heritage Malta’s Keeper of Models at the Malta Maritime Museum, Joe Abela, will also give a short explanation on model ship making and restoration. Mr Abela will show the type of material and tools used in the building of such models and the stages necessary in the restoration of antique models.

Admission to the Malta Maritime Museum on 25 March between 2pm and 4.30pm will be at half price for adults, while people under the age of 16 will be allowed in free of charge.
