Fatel Razack (Fath Al Razack,Victory of God (Allah) the Provider, Arabic:قتح الرزاق) was the first ship to bringindentured labourers from India toTrinidad. The ship was built in Aprenade for a trader named Ibrahim Bin Yussef, an Indian Muslim merchant inBombay. It was constructed fromteak and had a carrying capacity of 415 tons.[1] When the British decided they were going to bring Indians to Trinidad in 1845, most of the traditional British ship owners did not wish to be involved. The confusion as to the proper name possibly stems from the name "Futtle Razak", which was on the ship'smanifest.
The ship was originally namedCecrops, but upon delivery it was renamed toFath Al Razack. The ship leftCalcutta on 16 February 1845 and landed in theGulf of Paria on 30 May 1845, with 225 immigrants. The day of landing has been celebrated asIndian Arrival Day since the 140th anniversary of their arrival in 1845.[2]
