Saigon River: Port Activity

 

Vessels loading and unloading along the river in 1972. The defunct My Canh floating restaurant was the scene of a deadly 1965 sapper attack. Behind it is the Messageries Maritimes (MM) building, now the Ho Chi Minh Museum. A WW II vintage victory ship unloads militiary cargo at the MM docks.

 Below are two old postcard images of the Saigon riverfront.
