Perseverance (1799 ship) was built in 1797 at Stettin or Sweden and came into British hands in 1799. She made one voyage under charter to the British East India Company (EIC), and was lost in July 1803.
Perseverance (1801 EIC ship) was launched in 1801 as an East Indiaman. She made seven voyages for the EIC before she was sold in 1819 for breaking up.
Perseverance (1801 whaling ship) was launched on the Thames in 1801 and made 16 whaling voyages to the coast of Africa, South East Asian waters, and the Pacific before she was broken up in 1841.

Crescent was launched at Rotherhithe in 1790. She initially traded with the Levant, particularly Smyrna. After the outbreak of war with France she may have tried her hand as a privateer. In 1796–1798 she made a voyage to the East Indies, almost surely on behalf of the British East India Company (EIC). A French privateer captured her but the British Royal Navy quickly recaptured her. In 1802-1804 she made one voyage as a slave ship carrying slaves from West Africa to Jamaica. In 1805 she became a whaler. She was lost in 1807 off Patagonia while homeward bound from her first whaling voyage.
