Marsa Historical Museum
Marsa is the cradle from where most of the business and development that has made Malta what it is today emerged. Enduring workers left their homes in the villages and came and set up new homes at the harbour sites. Whatever was required to sustain the development was imported and delivered throughout Malta - business flourished and the Malta that we know today was born. It is also important to mention the hardship that was endured during WWI and WWII together with the important work the forces carried out from these locations.
The memory of how all this came about should not be lost - especially the Harbour area - and this is precisely what our committee is working on; the setting of our very own Marsa Historical Museum. Every Maritime town has its own Museum through which its cherished history is preserved for its future generations. Marsa should not be left out.
M'hemm l-ebda dubju li l-Marsa hija il-benniena tal-iżvilupp u n-negozju li minnu ħarġet il-Malta li nafu llum. Kienu n-nies qalbiena li ddeċidew li jħallu l-irħula u jiġu jaħdmu x-xatt. Bis-saħħa ta' dawn in-nies beda jitwassal Malta kwalunkwè prodott li kien hemm bzonn biex niżviluppaw bħala pajjiż, jiħholoq il-kummerċ u nibdew it-triq tal-iżvilupp li waslet lil Malta biex tilħaq il-livell tajjeb t'għejxien li llum igawdi minnu kullħadd. Irridu nfakkru wkoll iż-żmien iebes li għaddew minnu fi żmien WWI u WWII - u l-manuvri importanti li għamlu s-suldati biex jissalvagwardjaw pajjiżna.
Il-memorja ta' kif ġara dan kollu m'għandha qatt tintilef - u qiegħdin naħdmu biex ikollna Mużew tal-Istorja tal-Marsa -partikolarment tax-Xatt - li jigbor fih il-ġrajja mill-bidu saż-żmien tal-llum. Kull belt marittima għandha il=Mużew tal-Istorja - u se nibqgħu naħdmu biex il-Marsa ikollna l-Mużew tal-ġrajja tagħna wkoll.
