List of ships owned by Daniel Bennett &amp; SonList of ships owned by Daniel Bennett &amp; Son List of ships owned by Daniel Bennett & Son By the early 19th Century Daniel Bennett was the most important owner of vessels engaging in whale hunting in the Southern Whale Fishery. At one point he had some 17 vessels out whale hunting. He also owned vessels that were traders rather than whalers. Bennett purchased vessels rather than having them built for him.
