By the early 19th Century Daniel Bennett was the most important owner of vessels engaging in whale hunting in the Southern Whale Fishery. At one point he had some 17 vessels out whale hunting. Bennett purchased vessels rather than having them built for him.[1] Many of Bennett's vessels appear to have been prizes to the Royal Navy, or warships that the Navy was disposing of after the end of the French Revolutionary (1802), or Napoleonic Wars (1815). Name changes make it difficult, or impossible absent original research, to identify many of the vessels' earlier histories. The list below is primarily from Stanbury.[2] {{div col|colwidth=200px}}- Active (1789–1792)
