Summary

Port Adelaide showing the Copper Company wharf. The English and Australian Copper Company built a smelter at Port Adelaide in 1861. It was built right on the river bank and produced copper ingots from the ore mined at Burra. The smelter operated until 1912. More wharves were constructed to cope with the expected arrival of ships carrying ore and coal and transporting the copper ingots to England and other countries.
