Finally, she became a whaler, but was lost in 1806 to a mutinous crew.
John and James was a Nantucket whaler 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]
