What is the Singapore River’s place in our history? For centuries, Singapore’s waters have played an integral role in our journey, with the river’s transformation mirroring the island’s own evolution from a thriving 14th-century port to a global powerhouse of today. This collection of stories explores the milestones and memories of the Singapore River and its surrounding seas as the historical origin of our connections with the world. It includes topics such as ancient ceramics unearthed near the Singapore River, the impact of the Suez Canal on Singapore’s port and harbour, and representations of the river in cultural imagination. Once Upon a Tide invites readers to discover how past and present connections between Singapore’s river, sea, and identity continue to shape the currents of our future.
