Today, a ceremony in Barrakka Gardens

June 15, the eve of celebrations in Barrakka Gardens in Valletta Arcade.

Work continued with the installation of a plaque commemorating the death of 13 sailors from the “Kujawiak”. The creator of an array of white marble (authors of the text in English. Polish and English are: Dr. Timmy Gambin, Peter Wytykowski, Mariusz Borowiak), which is a gift from the members of the Shipwreck Expedition Association, is the architect Patrick Callaja – the good spirit of the expedition and a friend of the Association. Mounting the plaque was very popular with foreign tourist groups, which on that day visited the historic garden in the capital of Malta.

Today’s ceremony, on June 16, has two parts.  In the afternoon hours onboard a Maltese Navy ship a group made up of representatives of government authorities of Malta and Poland, World War II veterans, members of an international group of wreck explorers, and others, will sail to the resting place of the Polish “Hunt Type II”, ORP Kujawiak.   At 1900 hours (7:00 pm) Barraka Gardens Arcade will host the celebration of the unveiling of the plate.
