; Malaysian Tin Dredge No.5 (TT5)!⚓️
⚓️ The Tanjung Tualang Tin Dredge No. 5 (TT5) is a former tin mining dredge in Batu Gajah, Kinta District, Perak, Malaysia. TT5 is the last tin dredge in Malaysia. TT5 was used for 44 years until 1982 when the Malaysian tin industries declined due to the falling world's tin price, exhausted tin deposits and high operating cost.
⚓️ As i know, its open everyday from 9AM to 6PM.
⚓️ Located about 40-minute drive from Ipoh, TT5 is now fully open for visitors to experience TT5 Guided Dredge Tour, panning and self tour inside the gallery and the magnificent view of the landscape.

a last tin dredge over here and beside got a garden to walk around, can have tour guide to know more about history of this ship
Tanjung Tualang Tin Dredge No. 5 (TT5) This area is really a small and fresh place for deep tourists. It is very good, the streets are clean and tidy, the air is fresh, the birds and flowers are fragrant, and it is a very good place. ~
The ship here is named TT5 — or Tanjung Tualang 5, because it is the 5th dredger in Tanjung Tualang. This ship was imported from London with a price of around 30 million.
Good place to study tin history in perak. Please bring umbrella if you go there in the afternoon. The weather is very hot. But overall is a good place to relax and enjoy the scenery.
