Samuel Enderby & Sons, the
whaling company, purchased her perhaps as early as 1767 or 1768; she made eight whaling voyages for them between 1775 and 1782.[3] In 1782 she underwent a good repair and Enderbys renamed her Swift.[4] She then performed whaling voyages on the Brazil Banks and off Africa until 1793.[2] She was still listed in Lloyd's Register as whaling until at least 1795.
Rockingham (1818 ship), of 42710⁄94 tons (bm), was launched in 1818 at Sunderland by James Laing. In 1823 she made one voyage for the EIC. She continued trading until 1830 when she was surveyed and then condemned for breaking up.[5]
