English: S.L.Cassar, Kaiser Wilhelm II entering Valletta, 10 May 1909
"On the morning of May 10, 1909, their imperial majesties Emperor Wilhelm and Empress Augusta Victoria arrived in Malta from Corfu. It was the third visit to Malta by the emperor and the second by the empress. On entering harbour, they were saluted by the Royal Navy and the Saluting Battery with 21 guns. Baron Von Tucker visited their majesties on board and presented to the German empress a bouquet of fresh flowers on behalf of the baroness. At the luncheon held at the Palace, their majesties twice made an appearance on the Palace balcony and “the waiting crowds applauded them heartily”. They visited St John’s Co-Cathedral, which was adorned with the priceless Flemish tapestries. In the afternoon, the imperial visitors “motored over a good portion of the country”. Baron and Baroness von Tucher sat at dinner, when the German emperor proposed the toast to his majesty King Edward VII. “The day of the imperial visit has passed rapidly, like all glad days. But it has been a notable day.” The next morning, the Hohenzollern proceeded on its voyage." - Times of Malta |
