Scope and Contents
269 x 209 mm. A view from Mount Faber looking across St James and New Harbour towards Pulau Brani, with a Malay village in the foreground and the chimneys of the tin smelting works (opened in 1890) rising from behind the trees in the distance. Better known as New Harbour, it is located south- west of the town and was surveyed by Henry Keppel who in 1848 made repairs there to his ship the Meander. Its importance was largely eclipsed by the growth of the Tanjong Pagar Docks.
