| Abstract: | By the time the Knights came to Malta in 1530, they had evolved into a highly efficient naval force. In this article the author describes the training provided to the surgical students of the Order of St. John. It describes in detail the day to day tasks performed when on board of the galleys and describes also the dangers the surgical teams encountered whilst sailing. |
