This book was released on 2023-09-18 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 16 June 2021 the National Heritage Board announced the successful conclusion of the archaeological excavation of two shipwrecks at the eastern approach to Singapore. This maritime archaeology excavation, the largest in Singapore’s waters, was conducted by the Archaeology Unit of the ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute over a six-year period. This book documents these two shipwrecks, complemented by essays on Singapore’s maritime history, from Temasek in the fourteenth century through the emergence of country trade in the late eighteenth century. These two shipwrecks challenge us to rethink Singapore’s history as globally connected, determined by what was happening on the seas in and around the island.

Download or read book Singapore the Silk Road of the Sea 1300 1800 written by John N. Miksic and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beneath the modern skyscrapers of Singapore lie the remains of a much older trading port, prosperous and cosmopolitan and a key node in the maritime Silk Road. This book synthesizes 25 years of archaeological research to reconstruct the 14th-century port of Singapore in greater detail than is possible for any other early Southeast Asian city. The picture that emerges is of a port where people processed raw materials, used money, and had specialized occupations. Within its defensive wall, the city was well organized and prosperous, with a cosmopolitan population that included residents from China, other parts of Southeast Asia, and the Indian Ocean. Fully illustrated, with more than 300 maps and color photos, 'Singapore and the Silk Road of the Sea' presents Singapore's history in the context of Asia's long-distance maritime trade in the years between 1300 and 1800: it amounts to a dramatic new understanding of Singapore's pre-colonial past.

Download or read book Seaport and Airport Infrastructure Economics and Policy a Singapore Perspective written by Ho Kim Hin/David and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2020-09-18 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks closely at the findings, contributions and recommendations on key issues concerning the concomitant subjects of the large and complex physical infrastructural provision like the seaport and the airport. Chapter 1 examines the seaports, where ships, cargoes, cranes, forklifts and storage yards, warehouses, lorries, roads and rail lines abound. Cargo handling needs specialist knowledge of the understanding supply chain management (SCM), and of the global integrated logistics hub, i.e. global gateway. Chapter 2 highlights that the growth of developing countries depends on adequate physical infrastructure to support economic development. The Chapter examines the merits of viable seaport infrastructure investment, of requiring large capital expenditure, long payback period and of structuring a defensible risk management strategy to deal with uncertainties. Singapore’s Jurong Port is the case study. Chapter 3 is concerned with the growth of developing countries ., which depends very much on having adequate physical infrastructure to support economic development. As a strategic response, many physical infrastructure investments like seaports are being privatised and highly purpose built. Merits of the viable, long term, seaport investment, and of structuring a defensible risk management strategy are essential to deal with uncertainties. Singapore’s Jurong Port is the case study. Chapter 4 is concerned with the global outreach of the small island state of Singapore’s seaport operation, owing to its chronic and limited land and small population size. To overcome limiting growth prospects, it is essential to grow and sustain the global outreach of the Port of Singapore. Last but not least, Chapter 5 recognizes that for public physical infrastructure developments like Singapore’s global Changi Airport, public funding is also a form of investment that entails uncertainties, which need to be rigorously evaluated with financial modelling on the risks and returns. Even more so for crucial seaport expansion and for developing a larger strategic objective for the long-term, well-being of the nation. Changi Airport is a key pillar of strength to support the growth of Singapore’s trade-oriented market economy.

Download or read book On Scattered Shores written by Yaja and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sea is a harsh mistress, forever testing the worthiness of those she holds close to her breast lest they become complacent and fall in her estimation. The men who hear that calling and respond to it seldom sway from it, for soon it is in their blood; but for the unfortunate few that err in their choice, she is quick to condemn them to the backwaters of seafaring history. On Scattered Shores is a collection of six sea stories. Each story is different, and together, they sketch the many moods and colours of a life at sea. From the perils of the unpredictable elements that test one’s courage and character, to the battles within, of loneliness and despair. From fleeting love and its lasting memories, to love betrayed and its terrible consequences. Of mystical bonds that can only happen when man is one with the universe, far removed from the clutter of life ashore, these stories tell of the men who sail these ships, and the unique world they inhabit. Sail away on a voyage of romance and adventure, and feel the taste of salt and the whip of the wind in each of these tales.

Download or read book Technology and Entrep t Colonialism in Singapore 1819 1940 written by Goh Chor Boon and published by Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. This book was released on 2013 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did imported technology contribute to the development of the colony of Singapore? Who were the main agents of change in this process? Was there extensive transfer and diffusion of Western science and technology into the port-city? How did the people respond to change? Examining areas such as shipping, port development, telegraphs and wireless, urban water supply and sewage disposal, economic botany, electrification, food production and retailing, science and technical education, and health, this book documents the role of technology and, to a smaller extent, science, in the transformation of colonial Singapore before 1940. In doing so, this book hopes to provide a new dimension to the historiography of Singapore from a "science, technology and society" perspective.

Book excerpt: In present-day society, seaports have a very negative image, which is mainly due to the environmental pressures and pollution risks they cause, the monomaniac capitalist mentality of their operators, the dubious reputation of the shipping industry, the uninspired, strictly utilitarian design of port facilities and the dehu-manisation of port areas. Currently, the erosion of public support for seaports is a major issue in port management and policy.
