 Lee Jetty
Lee Jetty is one of the clan jettys of George Town. It is the fourth jetty from the north, located between Tan Jetty and Mixed Clan Jetty. It is also known in Hokkien as Seh Lee Keo.
The Lee Jetty housed the people of the Lee clan. They are the descendents of coolies that migrated to Penang at the turn of the 20th century, around the same time that the eastern shore of George Town was reclaimed to create the new port area and the new waterfront road called Weld Quay. The Lee coolies created a Lee village from Fujian Province in southern China, at the Penang waterfront.
