Abstract: | On February 23, 1905, the Governor of Malta Sir Charles Mansfield Clarke turned the controller switch on the tramcar that made the inaugural journey from the Marsa Depot to Porta Reale, where hundreds waited for free rides on the latest innovation in public transport – electric trams; unlike the railway, they were clean and quiet. |
