Mentor was launched in Philadelphia in 1758 under another name. For some time her name was British King. By the time she first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1776 her name had become Mentor. From 1776 to 1790 she was a whaler in the Greenland whale fishery, though she also spent time trading generally, and as a transport. In 1791 she commenced a voyage to the southern whale fishery but received damage en route and was condemned at the River Plate.
