This wall mural is an initiative by Singapore River One, proudly supported by Goldbell Group and Breezeway Development.

The mural speaks of the evolution of Boat Quay from where it was to what it is today. Boat Quay was once the busiest part of the old Port of Singapore during the 1860s. Logistics played an important role, even so during prosperous times where hundreds of bumboats would vie for the limited berthing space. Goods were carried from bumboats anchored in the river to the road by the coolies, and with the advances in technology, transportation has developed to new modes including trucks and modern vehicles.

Today, Boat Quay boast of the beautiful skyline and waterfront view, with a wide offering of international cuisines and entertainment along the preserved shophouses. Moving away from the past as a bustling trading hub, Boat Quay has shifted towards being a lifestyle destination for both tourists and locals.
