The brigantine "James" left London, England on 10 October with 21 inmates of St Pancras Parish workhouse, emigrating to Bermuda as indentured servants. She was registered at 140 tons burden, but purported to be 200 tons by Captain T W Burrows. A Bermuda historian estimates her to be 287 tons. On this voyage, Thomas W Burrowes was captain.
