Perseverance (or Perserverance) was launched on the Thames in 1801. She then spent her entire career of 16 voyages as a whaler. Early in her career a French privateer captured her, but the British Royal Navy quickly recaptured her. Perseverance would herself later capture a vessel too. She was broken up in 1841. CareerPerseverance entered Lloyd's Register in 1801 with W. Stevers, master, Mellish, owner, and trade London–Southern Fisheries.[4]Voyage #1: Captain William Stavers received a letter of marque on 27 February 1801.[1] On 9 March he sailed Perseverance for Walvis Bay.

She returned to England on 31 January 1809.[2]Voyage #5: Captain Thomas Williamson left England on 1 June, bound for Peru. He returned on 9 August 1811 with over 1900 barrels of sperm oil.[2]Voyage #6: After war with America broke out in July Captain Henry King received a letter of marque against the United States of America. He left England in late 1811 and returned on 4 May 1814.[2]Voyage #7: King sailed again in August 1814, bound for Peru. He returned on 2 May 1816 with 400 casks of whale oil.[2]Voyage #8: William Stavers sailed from England on 5 October 1816. He died during the voyage, killed by the strike of a whale's tail.[2] His son, Thomas Reed Stavers, was serving on Perseverance as a boatsteerer and had to pull his father's body from the sea.[9] Thomas Cooksey replace Captain Staver as master. Perseverance returned to England on 23 July 1818 with 550 casks.[2]Voyage #9: Captain Alexander Luke sailed from England on 7 October 1818 and returned on 17 April 1821 with 600 casks.[2]Voyage# 10: Captain Luke, or J.
