Description
Here is the G3 sailing into the Grand Harbour Valletta early in the morning. These boats carried all goods to/fro Malta's sister Island Gozo. Hail, rain or shine, they would leave Mgarr Harbour Gozo at 4 am for a 3 hour journey . At Valletta they would unload Gozitan agricultural produce with reload with provisions for the Gozo population. On arriving in Gozo they would be unload and reloaded for the next morning. The boats were rigged with lateen sails. As a young boy I use to see them in action and witnessed the hardship of the crew as they unloaded and re-loaded the boats.
