On 20 May 2013 Malta issued a 3-stamp set commemorating European Maritime Day. The 26€ stamp shows St. Elmo Lt. and the 97€ stamp shows both St. Elmo Lt. and Ricasoli Breakwater Lt. These lights mark the entrance to Grand Harbor at Valleta with St. Elmo being on the west breakwater and Ricasoli on the east. A joint issue souvenir sheet with Curacao is scheduled to be released on 20 August. At the upper left of the sheet just below the “J” is the location of Ricasoli breakwater light. A higher resolution image will be needed to see if the light is actually visible here.
