Rover (ship)

Several vessels have been named Rover:
 * Rover had been launched in New York, possibly as Judith, or an earlier name. Rover appeared in British records in 1781. She became a privateer and then a slave ship in the triangular trade in enslaved people. An American privateer captured Rover in 1783 on the second leg of her first slave voyage.
 * Rover was launched in 1786 in Poole. She spent her brief career sailing to Newfoundland from England, and returning via Spain, having delivered fish (probably salt cod). In 1793 a French privateer captured her, but a British letter of marque quickly recaptured her. She was lost in 1795 while delivering fish from Newfoundland to Spain.
 * Rover was a whaler that between 1830 and 1848 made four voyages to the British southern whale fishery. She was the former Cruizer-class brig-sloop HMS Rover (1808).
