Vere was launched in 1803 in Hull. However, she first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) only in 1812.[1] She may have sailed under another name between 1803 and 1812.
| Year | Master | Owner | Trade | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1812 | Kenney | Robertson | London–South Seas | LR |
This data continued unchanged through the 1818 volume of LR. The Register of Shipping carried the same information. However, there is no evidence from Lloyd's List or press mentions that she ever sailed, let alone as a whaler in the British Southern Whale Fishery.[2] It is possible that she was sold before setting out and that new owners changed her name.
