Arrival of the Prince of Wales at Malta, 1876. The future King Edward VII returns to England via the Mediterranean. '...at ten in the forenoon...the [Royal Navy warship] Serapis, with the Invincible and Raleigh, preceded by the Helicon, which had left the port with Admiral Drummond to meet the ships, entered Valetta Harbour. She was greeted by the firing of salutes from the forts of St. Elmo, Ricasoli, and Tigne, and from the ships of war. The latter were dressed with flags and the yards manned. At noon the Prince, under the salute of the forts of St. Angelo and Lascaris, landed at Marsa. He was received by the Governor, Major-General Sir C. Van Straubenzee, and by Admirals Drummond and Rice, with the military and naval staff, the members of the Council, and the heads of departments'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
