Harbour Board East London 0-4-0
The Harbour Board East London 0-4-0 of 1873 is a South African steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Cape of Good Hope.
In 1847 the government of the Cape of Good Hope established harbour boards at its three major ports, Table Bay, Port Elizabeth and East London. While railway lines were laid at all these harbours, trains were for the most part initially hauled by oxen or mules.〔John Middleton on vertical boiler locomotives in South Africa〕
The first steam locomotive to see service at East London Harbour was a engine that was obtained for work on breakwater construction in 1873 and placed in service in 1874. It was a vertical boiler engine, similar to the American Grasshopper type. Four of them were acquired between 1873 and 1880.〔
==The harbour boards==
When the need for improved harbour facilities for the handling of ships and cargoes became apparent, the Cape Government established harbour boards at Table Bay, Port Elizabeth and East London in 1847. Each board initially consisted of five members, later increased to seven, and they were responsible for the management, control, improvement, development and maintenance of the facilities at these ports, and empowered to levy wharfage dues.〔
