Description: |
|
The Harbour Department was built on land in Talad Noi provided
by Chao Sua Seng, a wealthy trader when Captain Bush was
appointed. Talad Noi, meaning ‘small market’ sits at the
southern end of Chinatown, on the east bank of the Chao Phraya
River. It was a hub for trading and shipping and was where
shipping engines were repaired. The Harbour department is short
walk from Charoenkrung Road soi 30, also known as Captain Bush
Lane, where the Captain resided.
The Harbour Department
was renamed as Marine Department in 2002. In 2020 the Marine
Department Pier N4 was refurbished in a style fitting of its
location and heritage. The design combines two western
architecture styles: “Bozar (1830- 1890) and Neo-classic
(1660-1798)”. On the upper floor of the pier a small museum case
holds a standing Buddha statue facing the river. By the pier is
a small garden for taking in the view of ‘the dragon’s belly’ of
the Chao Phraya River. On the river in front of the park and
adjacent to the pier, is a replica of piers in bygone days. |
