Donkey. The first donkeys were brought to St Helena in the early 17th century for carrying goods. The Records for November 1715 report the presence of 12 animals. Later, donkeys were also used to power the Ladder Hill Railway. The highest population was up to 1,161 animals in September 1955, declining thereafter.
