Sammy entered the dockyard in 1965, as shipwright apprentice. On completion of his apprenticeship, he was assigned to a gang with the afloat-section.  In 1975, he was elected member of the Dockyard Council, 10 years as a member and deputy chairman and another 12 years in the role of a chairman. In 1997 his role as chairman ended, and after some time, his colleagues signed a petition for him to take role of a president of the Metal Worker’s section. He retired the yard in 2010.</schema:description><schema:artForm>Interviews</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://emuseum.heritagemalta.mt/objects/712/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></rdf:RDF>
