The major project of maintenance work has now been completed on the Dghajsa Tal-Latini – The Gozo Boat.

The boat is on permanent display at the Zewwieqa waterfront at Mgarr, and the work, which included a total re-paint and minor woodwork restoration work, was started a few weeks ago under the supervision of Peter Caruana – son of the original builder.

Wirt Ghawdex, in coordination with Gozo Channel organised the project, with the funding provided by Gozo Channel, the owners of the boat.

The Ministry for Gozo provided the necessary electrical power for the work from a nearby location.

Wirt Ghawdex said that it now awaits “badly needed” maintenance work to be carried out on the surrounding lighting system and the water feature that feeds the water below the boat.
