Summary[edit]

Description
English: Believe this is the British troopship HMT Devonshire, in Grand Harbour, Malta, taking troops from Jordan back to the UK. These were some of the last days of the use of troopships, to be replaced by the movement of troops by air. Surounding the ship are 'dgħajsas' (a traditional Maltese water taxi) ferrying passengers to shore
