World War I - Supply & Troop Ships
These ships are known to have been at
Gallipoli. It is possible they could have visited Malta.
In an aid to identification of photos taken in Grand Harbour I am piecing this
page together.
I do not show photos on this page. Please visit Photoship
to view each ship.
