Vere (1790 ship)

Vere may have been a whaler in the British Southern Whale Fishery between 1790 and 1793. She never appeared in Lloyd's Register or Lloyd's List so little is known about her origins and fate. Some records state that she was built in 1774, but it is not clear under what name. She appears in a list of ships owned by Daniel Bennett & Son, and her master for her intended whaling voyage apparently was Robert Blyth.[2] It will require original research to establish anything more.

For other ships with the same name, see Vere (ship).
