Built in 1970 at the OY Nautors Ab shipyard in Pietarsaari, Finland, she was designed by Sparkman and Stevens as a Swan-class ship. She weighs 10.5 tons, she is 36.6 feet long, 10.9 feet wide and 6.1 feet draft.
In 1985 she was sold to India's Sapper Adventure Foundation and renamed TRISHNA, which in Hindi means the urge to satisfy a deep-seated desire. From 1985 to 1987 she was used for circumnavigation from India and was boarded by Indian Navy personnel. She sailed west via the Panama Canal (course shown on stamp).
She has since completed two more of her long trips. From 1994 she returned to Singapore from Bombay in 1995 and from 1996 she returned to Muscat from Bombay in 1997 she returned to Salalah Ramahe. During the year 1000 she made another voyage from Mumbai to Singapore and visited many ports during her voyage to and from Singapore.
