Portrait of ships (Trades)


Photo taken from: Singapore National Museum
Date taken: 20 February 2014

Description: This is a picture of old ships used before 1819. These ships are not steam-powered. The people used sails so that the monsoon winds would take them to their destination. Therefore, I can infer that people took advantage of  the monsoon winds to travel to Singapore for trading and settlement.
