| Abstract: | Il-karrakki kienu bastimenti kbar u qawwija tal-Ordni ta’ San Ġwann. Il-karrakka Santa Maria, qabel magħrufa bħala l-Mogarbina, kienet meħuda mingħand il-Mori fl-1507 u serviet b’mod attiv sas-sena 1531 meta nqerdet b’esplużjoni kkawżata minn skjav żgħir. Il-Sant Anna kienet l-ikbar u l-isbaħ karrakka li kellu l-Ordni, mibnija f’Nizza fl-1522. Setgħet iġġorr eluf ta’ suldati u merkanzija, kienet mimlija kanuni u kienet meqjusa bħala “meravilja ta’ żmienha”. Żaruha r-Re ta’ Tuneż u l-Imperatur Karlu V. Il-San Gwann kienet fost l-eqdem u magħrufa għall-attakk ta’ Lixandra fl-1507 meta rebħet bastiment Musulman, li sar is-Santa Maria. Dawn il-karrakki kienu simbolu tal-poter militari u marittimu tal-Ordni fil-Mediterran. |
