Oscar, of 205 tons (bm), was a Danish vessel, taken in prize, that first entered Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1809.[1] She began trading between Greenock and New Brunswick.

She returned having taken 12 whales, four seals, one bear, and a narwhal.[2] Outward bound on her second whaling voyage,[3] Oscar, John Innes, master, was wrecked at Greyhope Bay, Aberdeen on 1 April 1813. All but two of her crew of 45 men drowned.[4]
