Abstract: This article explores the origins and evolution of traditional boat racing in Malta's Grand Harbour. The article traces the history of harbour regattas back to the 1620s under the Order of St John, focusing on the early parochial races organized by Senglea's Porto Salvo church (Tigrija tal-Porta Salvu). It details early regulations, sponsorship by local ship captains, disruptions over the centuries, and later 19th-century revivals under British rule.
