The Royal Navy in Malta
Malta is an island in the central Mediterranean. Under the Treaty of Paris, which was signed in 1814, Malta
became part of the British Empire. Its strategic position in the middle of the Mediterranean halfway between
Gibraltar and Egypt made it an ideal naval base for the Royal Navy.
The Grand Harbour in Malta is reputed to be the largest natural harbour in the region, and is suitable for large
ships with significant drafts. In the Twentieth century and for first half of the Twenty-First, the United Kingdom
was primarily a naval power and maritime nation. Britain’s naval power was projected across the world, including
the Mediterranean. One of the reasons the Mediterranean was so important to the United Kingdom was that with
the opening of the Suez Canal, it was the main sea route from Europe to the Far East, including British India. The
United Kingdom had three key naval bases in the Mediterranean; Gibraltar in the west (and at the entrance to the
sea), Malta in the middle and Alexandria in Egypt in the east.
