Sarawak Steamship Company building (1 October 2004)


Sarawak Steamship Company building (GPS: 1.55975, 110.34599) is a heritage building on the Kuching Waterfront. Today it houses the Kuching Waterfront Bazaar.

The Sarawak Steamship Company building belonged to the steamship company which was established in 1875. The introduction of steamship to replace sailing ships enabled shipping to be carried out throughout the year without dependency on the trade winds. The building however dates from the 1930's, during the reign of Charles Vyner Brooke, the third and last White Rajah of Sarawak. It was used as the company godown or warehouse, as well as office.

Today the Sarawak Steamship Co. Building has undergone restoration, and today houses a food & beverage outlet as well as a convenience store. Its proximity to the central business district provides it a regular stream of business from the lunch crowd.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
