I'm not referring to earth orbiting spacecraft.  I am interested in
interplanetary spacecraft that travel well beyond the vicinity of
the earth.

AFAIK, there are no such spacecraft in orbits perpendicular to the
ecliptic plane.  Even the Pioneer and Voyager missions, both of which
are now far beyond the orbit of Pluto, are approximately within the
ecliptic plane.
