    Fascinating to see the Gotheborg Steve. It’s reminds me of an old sail ship that we saw in Venice about 9 years ago. I bet it was impressive to see it sailing in and out of the Grand Harbour 👍🏼

    My wife and I saw it on Friday evening when we went to Senglea Point. It is a beautiful ship worth visiting. Our Grand Harbour Marina should be filled with such old historic galleons and old sea craft to go without history.

    Am absolutely fascinated with ships especially the old wooden ones, so much caricature.. here in Liverpool we see a lot of fantastic new & old ships that dock here, giving us the chance to visit & board them.. i can’t remember ever having to pay to see them, we was welcomed open armed to view them.
    My best memories was boarding a Canadian ship called HMCS Protector in the 1980’s when she visited Liverpool.. the crew provided us with a fantastic party on board in the evening.. with free drinks & food, I can remember the ceilings was draped with parachutes.. It was amazing !!
    Then I was taken to see the crews sleeping quarters, then to the galley kitchen were all the cooking was prepared for the crew, very interesting indeed, then onto the officer’s mess room where they enjoyed time off.. yes 👍 it had loads of snacks and beers lol 😂 it’s a pity you was only able to view the minimum part of this amazing ship.

      Just to let you know why am so fascinated with ships, my grandad was a Sargent major in the army R.E.M.E ( Royal electrical and Mechanical engineering) .. he left the army after 25 years of service, he then went on to working in our museum in Liverpool, reviving all the beautiful models of ships, reviving all the old train carriages, and the old cars .
      When I go to our museum in Liverpool am proud to say my grandad done this for all to see.

    What a pleasant way to spend the afternoon in such glorious weather !!!

    WHAT A BEAUTIFUL TALL SHIP ⛵ 🌊
    The "Gotheborg" must have looked awsome coming into Grand Harbour In full sail! 😲. Steve if you thought that was low beamed you should see our replicas of "HMB ENDEAVOUR" 🇬🇧 and "DUYFKEN" 🇳🇱 - about 5 ft high floor to beam. . BOTH built here 🇦🇺 with the help of British shipwrights (of course). Love tall ships.
    THANKS for the tour Steve ⛵ 🎥 👏.

    Hi we are over staying in Bugibba from Cornwall, where I watch your vids at home. There are three of us in our party. I used to live in Malta as a child from 1963-66 and so it’s a very nostalgic place for me. I return periodically and have been surprised at the amount o f building and new roads and increased traffic. I lived in Sliema and then Birzzebuga, Pretty Bay way back then. Good to hear all that’s going on from yourself. Is the wooden ship still in Grand Harbour would you know? We are here until the 3rd Nov
