Action off James Island
The Action off James Island was a naval engagement of the War of 1812. In May 1813 an American sloop-of-war captured three British whalers off James Island in the South Pacific. Only one of the whalers resisted and the resultant single-ship action was one of the few fought in Pacific waters during the war. The British later recovered all the whalers involved.
