Fort St Angelo

🎉 Il-ħames mitt oġġett fil-kollezzjoni!

L-aħħar akkwist tagħna hija l-kresta ta' HMS ST ANGELO, magħmula mill-bronż. Il-fortizza ġiet uffiċjalment imsemmija mill-ġdid fl-1 ta’ Lulju 1933, wara talba mingħand il-Fizzjali Kmandant, il-Kaptan Creagh.

Il-kresta mimlija simboliżmu, u tinkludi elementi mill-arma ta’ Gran Mastru de Valette flimkien mas-salib ta’ tmien ponot, riflessjoni qawwija tal-wirt Malti tagħna.⚓

🎉 The 500th object in the collection!

Our latest acquisition is a brass ship badge from HMS St Angelo. The fort was formally renamed on 1st July 1933, following a request by Commanding Officer Capt. Creagh. The badge itself is rich in symbolism, incorporating elements of Grand Master de Valette’s coat of arms alongside the iconic eight-pointed cross, a powerful nod to our heritage. ⚓
