Fatima (1849)
Fatima was a 521 ton barque that was wrecked on 26 June 1854 in the Torres Strait. She was built by R. Hutchinson, Sunderland, launched in 1849 and registered at Liverpool.
She sailed from London, England on 17 January 1850, under the command of Captain Ray, arriving at Port Adelaide, Australia on 11 June.
Under the command of Captain W. Hardie, on a voyage from Melbourne to Batavia, she struck the Great Detached Reef and was wrecked on 26 June 1854. The crew were rescued by the Bato off Raine Island.
Amongst the passengers on the outward voyage from London to Melbourne were Edward Thomas FYSH and his sister Harriet FYSH. Harriet married William Henderson HARDIE in Melbourne and was on board the 'Fatima' when the vessel was wrecked on Great Detached Reef. Harriet FYSH was Grand Aunt to Wilmot Hudson FYSH, pioneer aviator and co-founder of Qantas.
Notes
Fátima (Buenos Aires Premetro)
Nuestra Señora de Fátima (commonly known as Fátima) is a station on the Buenos Aires Premetro. It was opened on 13 March 2000 by the Buenos Aires Underground operator Metrovías and is one of only two Premetro stations (the other being Pola) to have been opened after the original inauguration of the Premetro in 1987. The station is located in the Barrio of Villa Soldati.
In 2015 the City of Buenos Aires presented plans to refurbish the station and currently the station is being renovated (along with the remodelling of the Intendente Saguier terminus) to serve as the model station on which all the other Premetro stations will be based once they too are renovated.

Fatima (1938 film)
Fatima is a 1938 film from the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) directed by Othniel and Joshua Wong. Written by Saeroen, it starred Roekiah, Rd Mochtar, and ET Effendi and followed two lovers who are disturbed by a rich youth. The film followed the same formula as the earlier hit Terang Boelan (Full Moon; 1937), and saw commercial success domestically. It is one of three films which Misbach Yusa Biran credits with reviving the domestic film industry, which had been faltering.
Plot
Fatima (Roekiah) is in love with Idris (Rd Mochtar), the son of a poor fisherman on the island of Motaro. One day, the rich youth Ali (ET Effendi) comes to the island and tries to steal Fatima's heart. She, however, is unwilling to receive him and gives his gifts to Idris, so that the latter can sell them. Ultimately it is revealed that Ali is the leader of a gang, and the police trace him through a stolen ring he had given Fatima.
Production
The success of Albert Balink's Terang Boelan in 1937, released in a stagnant domestic film industry, led the Tan brothers (Khoen Yauw and Khoen Hian) to reestablish their production house Tan's Film. For the company's first production, the Tans called the Wong brothers, Othniel and Joshua, to direct and handle daily activities with the company. The Wongs, who had served as cinematographers for Terang Boelan but found themselves unemployed after the studio closed its feature film division, accepted. They also handled cinematography on Fatima, shooting in black-and-white.
Miss Fatima
Miss Fatima (1914 – ?) was an Indian-British Indian female chess master.
Miss Fatima won the British Women's Chess Championship at Hastings in 1933. Earlier, she took 12th place at London 1932 (Edith Michell won). She was a friend of maharaja Sir Umar Hayat Khan. The British Men's Champion in 1929, 1932, and 1933 was Mir Sultan Khan, also a servant of Sir Umar.

Fatima (given name)
Fatima (Arabic: فَاطِمَة , Fāṭimah) is a female given name of Arabic origin, commonly used all over the Islamic world. The colloquial Arabic pronunciation of the name often omits the unstressed second syllable and renders it as Fatma when romanized.
Fatima is also used by non-Muslims: the town of Fátima in Portugal was named after a Moorish princess. It was the site of a famous Marian apparition in 1917, after which it achieved some popularity as a female personal name among Roman Catholic populations, particularly in the Portuguese-speaking and Spanish-speaking worlds.
The surname Mǎ (T: 馬; S: 马) is a common family name for Chinese Muslims, and is sometimes said to derive from the name Fatima.
Variations
The Turkish and Azeri transliteration of the name is either Fatma or Fadime. In Somali the name became Faduma. The Persian transliteration is Fatemeh and it is Faḍma in Kabyle. Spelt as Fátima, the name is also common amongst Spanish and especially Portuguese speaking peoples in Iberia as well as in the Americas.
