Title: The Malta Dockyard in craftsman's own words : Heritage Malta launches new publication on one of Malta's most iconic industries Abstract: Heritage Malta has released a publication that offers a unique perspective on one of Malta's most significant industries - the Malta Dockyard - through the narratives of its renowned skilled craftsmen. However, the book also has much more to reveal, including some lesser-known insights about the Dockyard environment. One notable fact is that women too traversed the grounds of the Malta Dockyard, and the book recounts other quirky curiosities that establish a common connection between seemingly unrelated entities, such as the cast-iron lamp posts at Castille Square and the adored Jesus the Redeemer statue in Senglea, among others.
