Description

This model, presented by the National Maritime Museum of Greenwich in 1993, shows the French and Dockyard Creeks as formerly designed by Lieut. Colonel A. Clarke, R.E. Director of Works to the Admiralty in 1865. During this time, the Admiralty felt the need to expand its dockyard facilities in Malta. Since there was no available space in the Dockyard Creek, it was agreed that Senglea waterfront at the French Creek will be taken over.
