Keppel Harbour, formerly known as New Harbour, has been a crucial maritime gateway for international trade since the late 19th century. It was renamed in honour of Admiral Henry Keppel in 1900. During World War II, Allied soldiers used Keppel Harbour to strengthen the defence of Singapore and Malaya, and thousands of civilians and troops escaped through it before Singapore fell on 15 February 1942. In 1943, Allied commandos carried out Operation Jaywick and destroyed seven Japanese ships stationed at Keppel Harbour.
