John and James (1792 ship) was built in Philadelphia in 1792. On a voyage to Europe a French frigate captured her; the French government eventually released her and paid an indemnity to her owner. She then made a voyage for the British
East India Company (EIC). On a second voyage a French privateer captured her.
John and James (1796 ship) was built in France in 1791 under another name and taken in prize in 1796. New owners renamed her and initially sailed her as a
West Indiaman. She then made a voyage for the British
East India Company (EIC). Next, she became a
slave ship, making three voyages between West Africa and the West Indies. Finally, she became a
whaler, but was lost in 1806 to a mutinous crew.
John and James was a
Nantucketwhaler that between 1808 and 1813 made four whaling voyages. On 6 December 1813 as John and James, Crosby, master, was returning from Chili with 1000 barrels of oil,
Pomone captured her and sent her into Bermuda.[1][2]
