Maltese Maritime History Issue - 1986 Coin: Valletta City

 






'VALLETTA CITY'
Acquired by Pace Brothers in 1947, this was the largest ship on the Maltese Register immediately after the war, with 5501 gross tons. It was employed on world-wide tramp routes, and it is of interest that when it called in a Canadian port to onload grain, the Canadian press hailed the visit as the largest Maltese ship ever to visit the country.
