Edward Allan Farquhar

Edward Allan Farquhar (November 1871 – 5 April 1935) was a shipping agent in South Australia who served as chairman of the State's Harbors Board for eleven years.

Farquhar, of the BB Line, which traded to Mauritius, put an end to his life by gunshot in London.

He served in that position until his death, which was sudden and unexpected, though known to be suffering high blood pressure.

The State's diesel-powered pilot launch which went into service in July 1937 was named E. A. Farquhar in his memory.

His brother William Harold Farquhar (1873 – 1 February 1918) was Port Adelaide manager for the South Australian Company.
