This is a photograph from E. A. Brown's collection. This view of the Singapore River and Boat Quay could have been taken in late 1973 or early 1974, judging by the state of construction of the United Overseas Bank tower (far left) and Clifford Centre behind and immediately to its right. Bumboats are also seen in the river, lining one side of the quay. Date of creation estimated. Title devised by Library staff. Information contributed by Richard Hale.
