Plaque commemorating Joseph (Joseph) Conrad-Korzeniowski in Singapore

In the centre of Singapore, there is a plaque commemorating Joseph (Joseph) Conrad-Korzeniowski. Conrad, who had a passion for the sea since his youth, travelled extensively around the world as a seafarer. In 1880, he enlisted on the ship 'Palestine' bound for Bangkok, but the ship sank and Conrad-Korzeniowski found himself in Singapore. The plaque commemorating the writer is in the shape of a sail and contains an inscription in English and a medallion with Conrad's portrait.
