Little Rock (CLG 4) - Naval Cruise Book

Before the dawn of history, Malta was a most welcome refuge to seafaring men caught in the sudden, violent storms common in the Mediterranean. Today, the islands still offer snug harbors and many excellent facilities for visiting ships, including a well equipped dock- yard. Malta has been occupied successively by the Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs, Sicilians, Normans, Argonese, Castilians, the French and the British. Malta is now independent, although still a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations. In Malta we found cathedrals, museums, theaters and other buildings rich in friezes, ornaments, paintings and carvings. The beau- tiful Blue Grotto Cave was a memorable at- traction. In the Mediterranean, Malta holds a special attraction for the United States Navyman. The British influence on language and customs has been very great. The Maltese are most hos- pitable and we felt very much at home there. Malta Annoury Hall,
