Set the scene.
Operation Pedestal tried to resupply besieged Malta between 10 and 15 August 1942. It succeeded in bringing supplies through despite heavy losses of ships and lives.
Here’s the twist.
The film Malta Convoy records the damaged tanker Ohio entering Grand Harbour with assistance. The museum’s catalogue identifies escorting vessels and the slow movement towards French Creek.
Why it still matters.
A film is evidence with a viewpoint. This one includes Commander Anthony Kimmins’s eyewitness account: compare what the camera shows with what the narrator says.
