Several vessels have been named ***Tom***:

- [*Tom* (1771 ship)](/source/Tom_(1771_ship)) was launched in 1771 in Britain. Between 1778 and 1792 she was a [West Indiaman](/source/West_Indiaman), trading between Lancaster and Jamaica, St Lucia, and Grenada. New owners in 1792 sailed *Tom* as a [slave ship](/source/Slave_ship) in the [triangular trade](/source/Triangular_trade) in enslaved people. She was condemned in 1794 at Barbados after having delivered the captives she had acquired in the Cameroons.
- [*Tom* (1792 ship)](/source/Tom_(1792_ship)) (or ***Toms***) was launched in 1780 in America, possibly under another name. She first appeared in British records in 1792. From 1792 *Tom* participated as a [slave ship](/source/Slave_ship) in the [triangular trade](/source/Triangular_trade) in enslaved people. She made two complete voyages from Liverpool.

- [*Tom* (1798 ship)](/source/Tom_(1798_ship)) was launched at Whitby in 1798 as a [West Indiaman](/source/West_Indiaman). New owners in 1802 resulted in *Tom* becoming a [whaler](/source/Whaler) in the southern whale fishery. The Spanish seized her in 1805 off Peru.
