Seringapatam (1799 ship) was built in India and became a whaling ship, making 15 whaling voyages between 1800 and 1846. The US Navy captured her in 1813 in the Pacific and she briefly became the USS Seringapatam, the only US Navy vessel ever to be commanded by a captain from the US Marine Corps. A mutiny by prisoners of war resulted in her returning to her British owners. She was laid up in 1850 and sold for a hulk in 1860

Between 1803 and 1808 she served the Royal Navy as an armed defense and hired armed ship on the Leith Station. She spent her time escorting convoys in the North Sea and captured one French privateer. After her naval service, between 1808 and 1814 Norfolk was a London-based transport. From 1814 to 1820 she made four voyages as a whaler in the Southern Whale Fishery. She was last listed in 1823.
