The brigantine "James" left London, England on 5 June 1850 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, Richardson was captain.
