Keryado was a French fishing trawler that was built in 1904 Silvain for Dutch owners. She was sold to Iceland in 1916 and renamed Thorstein Ingolffson. In 1917 she was acquired by the French Navy for use as the watchboat Chimpanzé. She was sold in 1919 and became the French fishing boat Keryado, later Keryado II.
