| Abstract: | The historical, cultural and economic development of the Maltese Islands has been mainly determined by two geographical factors, viz., (a) their situation in the centre of the main traffic routes of the Mediterranean Sea, and (b) their sheltered natural harbours and creeks. These features have also made the Island’s the refuge of the ·storm-tossed navigator from the earliest times when man first ventured: out to sea with oars. and sails, until the advent of the steamship in the 19th century. |
