The word \"sampan\" originated from the Chinese word sanpan (san means “three” and pan means “board”). The earliest of this type of boats came from China, and the Chinese sampan had been mentioned in travel writings from the West in as early as the 17th century. Used all over Asia, the sampan was once seen in great numbers at the Singapore River until 1983.","table_of_contents":"[Sampan] -- History -- Description -- River transport -- Recent developments -- References -- Further resources","subject_lcsh":"Wooden boats--Singapore|Skiffs--Singapore|Boats and boating--Singapore|Storage and moving trade--Singapore","subject_singheritage":"Transportation {18336129}","language":"eng","ispartof_collection":"NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia","nlb_type":"Article {18335714}","rights":"NA","access_rights":"The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

With the establishment of Singapore as a trading port during colonial times, the mouth of the river functioned as a harbour at which ships called. The business centre and government offices were also situated near the mouth. This continued until the 1970s when modern port facilities, such as the first container port in Southeast Asia, Tanjong Pajar container port, began to be developed , and took over the role of the harbour. Today, the area continues to be the site of commercial buildings and the Civic District, where some of Singapore’s historic buildings still stand.","table_of_contents":"[Mouth of the Singapore River] -- In legends -- Colonial period -- Post-independence period -- Reclamation - 1970s -- Revitalisation -- Reclamation - 1990s -- Redevelopment -- Marina Barrage and reservoir -- References.","subject_lcsh":"Rivers--Singapore|Singapore River (Singapore)--History","subject_singheritage":"Streets and Places {18336099}|Urban planning {18336138}|Transportation {18336129}","language":"eng","ispartof_collection":"NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia {10126}|NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia","nlb_type":"Article {18335714}","rights":"NA","access_rights":"The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.
