The Jetties, Georgetown

 The so called Clan Jetties were originally built by new immigrant workers to Penang in the mid 19th century who could not afford to buy land......so they built on water.

 No fishing boats here these.

 Each jetty has a clan living there.  The Chew's, Lee, Tan, mixed surname etc.

Good views of the straits and the bridge.
