| Abstract: | This article details the historical context, planning, and construction methodology of the Grand Harbour breakwater in Malta by S. Pearson & Son. It covers early harbor defense strategies against torpedo boats, the underwater engineering work involving concrete blocks and Goliath cranes, material quarrying in Gozo and Mistra, and the breakwater's eventual use as a public promenade. |
