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.
