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.<ref>Clayton (2014), p.18.</ref> Many of Bennett's vessels appear to have been [[Prize (law)|prizes]] to the [[Royal Navy]], or warships that the Navy was disposing of after the end of the [[French Revolutionary Wars|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.
