About This Image:

Due to the use of cargo containers, which are less labour-dependent, the once bustling Singapore River was filled with derelict tongkangs because of the downturn in the cargo handling business in the 1970s. Tongkang owners and operators along Boat Quay said that this was due to poor demand for their services.
