| Abstract: | The article "Origins of the September 8 Victory Regatta" by Joseph Seracino explores the historical and cultural significance of the annual boat race held in Malta's Grand Harbour. This regatta commemorates Victory Day on September 8, marking the departure of the Ottoman Turks in 1565 and Italy's surrender in 1943 during World War II. Tracing its origins to at least the early 17th century, the article highlights the enduring traditions and local rivalries that have kept this event alive. It also discusses the involvement of the Knights of St. John and the event's importance in Maltese folklore. |
