About this Event
As part of Singapore HeritageFest 2026, the Singapore Maritime Gallery will host a series of public talks and guided tours, in line with this year’s theme of Maritime Heritage.
This talk by the Old Engineering Apprentices Association (OEAA) will include a 30-minute documentary screening and a human library session. Participants can engage with OEAA members, who began as apprentices in the British Naval Base, Sembawang Shipyard, and the Singapore Harbour Board from 1955 to the early 1970s. These individuals overcame humble beginnings to become engineers and maritime pioneers, eventually forming OEAA in 1969. Their inspiring stories highlight the transformative power of technical education and its pivotal role in shaping Singapore’s maritime industry.
