Hello.
The below photo was taken in port of Chania (Crete-Greece) at early of 20th century.
Is there anyone who might have come across this kind of rigging from Black Sea to  Mediterranean.  
Many thanks

Yes, it appears to be a similar rig to a Maltese Luzzu, though your photo shows only one diagonal sprit per mast. (Apparently these vessels no longer exist - a pity, they're really cool).

I would be pretty fortunate if there was any relation with any Malta's boat, since I'm searching for this.🙂
However, I'm afraid that the two masts in sequence (spritsails) do not suggest either Luzzu or Speronara (Xprunara) Maltese boats.
Many thanks
