Perseverance 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. Career Perseverance was built either in Stettin, then part of Prussia, or Sweden. One source states the Prinsep and Saunders purchased her, but she first appears in Lloyd's Register with Ord, master, and Herbert, owner. Her trade is London—Demerara. Lloyd's Register for 1801 gives her master as Dorwick, her owner as Woods & Co., and her trade as London—Bengal. Perseverance sailed from Portsmouth on 9 January 1801. Messrs. Princip and Saunders had tendered Perseverance, Nathaniel Downick, master, to the EIC to bring back rice from Bengal. She was one of 28 vessels that sailed on that mission between December 1800 and February 1801. She arrived at Calcutta on 24 May. Homeward bound, she reached St Helena on 31 December, and arrived at the Downs on 21 February 1802.
