Image description

A daylight scene of frantic dockside activity during an air raid in Valletta Harbour in Malta. Helmeted dockworkers on the left take hold of a swinging load of white sacks being unloaded from the side of a merchant ship in the background. Several sacks are strewn around their feet. On the right another soldier hauls on a rope, guiding a loading net full of boxes down towards a second team of dockers. In the centre stands a figure, stripped to the waist, issuing orders. Puffs of smoke from anti-aircraft fire can be seen in the sky, upper left.
