Above: Valletta and Harbour, viewed from the Barakka Gardens.
Left: HMS Manxman at Port Said, Nov. 1956. Note the two rear doors through which the ship's mines would be laid.
Below: Entrance to the Suez Canal, looking south. Note the large statue of Ferdinand De Lesseps which was blown up by dissidents the day after this picture was taken. Also, on the right of the picture, the row of Minesweepers which had played a vital part in the Suez campaign.
Above: The pathetic sight of Col. Nasser's personal yacht sunk in the entrance to the Suez Canal, Nov. 1956.
Only the two funnels and mast remain visible. The vessel was sunk by Nasser and not by the Allied forces!
