Pulau Brani was originally the location of the coastal villages of the Orang Laut also known as sea gypsies. Due to its sheltered position, Pulau Brani was used as a coaling depot and a repair dock for British naval vessels. This photograph was taken from St James which was a promontory situated between Blangah Bay and Sibet Bay.
