Vere was a British ship launched in 1774 as Fanny, and was renamed in 1781.

In 1794, she was on her way from Jamaica to London with French prisoners who captured her and took her into South Carolina.

Vere first entered Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1781, with the notation that she had been Fanny.

In December 1794, Vere was transporting French prisoners from Jamaica to England.

Judge Thomas Bee, of the United States District Court of South Carolina, ruled on 22 January 1795, that the Court did not have the power to order restitution, and that the French captors had the right to depart unmolested.
