And her Future :
Parmelia, built in Quebec, 1825, was twice used to transport convicts to the penal colonies on the east coast of Australia; the voyages of 1832, and 1834.
In 1839, Parmelia was being refitted for the purpose of carrying migrants to the Americas, but a fire broke out and destroyed her.

By H. W. Baker - It is a happy thought that on the 125th anniversary of Foundation Day a memorial service should be held at the East Perth Cemetery in sight of tombstones that carry the names of some of the first settlers who arrived in the Parmelia.
