text:
The Baakens River, also known as Gqeberha River, is a river that empties at Port Elizabeth's city centre and harbour in Algoa Bay. The river flows for about 23 km (14 mi) from its catchment area at Sherwood, Hunter's Retreat, and Rowallan Park through mainly urban area to its mouth. Mostly, it is a small quiet stream. Near its mouth, it runs into a gorge on the south side of the hill on which Fort Frederick lies. Until the first VOC ships docked here in 1690, the creek was known by the Khoekhoe
