| Abstract: | This article examines the 19th-century proposals to connect Grand Harbour and Marsamxett via a canal or tunnel. The article details how a controversial proposal by the Royal Navy to build a new graving dock in the Menga (Marsa Basin) along the proposed canal route sparked intense debate between the Imperial government, the British military, the local government, and the Maltese mercantile community. |
