The story of the “Isle of Farquhar”, which used to serve the outer islands of Seychelles was featured in today’s issue of “Seychelles Nation”. The Isle of Farquhar was built in Holland in 1909 and named Zeemeeuw. After the Second World War she was bought by a fishing company in Mauritius and renamed La Perle. In 1961 La Perle was purchased by Moulinie & Company to replace the Revenant, and sailed to Seychelles by Captain Julien Joseph Robertson Durup (Berty) of Praslin. 
After repairs and renovations she was renamed Isle of Farquhar and began her new life taking workers and supplies to the outlying islands and returning laden with island produce such as maize, copra, livestock and salted fish. She was carried guano from St Pierre to Mauritius and in addition to Seychelles, served Agalega and the Chagos Archipelago. She later became a landmark at her final anchorage at Les Mamelles, Mahé. ​
