Captain James Collier, "Jr." (Aug. 6, 1813 - Jan. 14, 1891) was one of the most distinguished of many "Cohasset Deep Sea Captains." Capt. Collier went to sea at about age 9, and was a Captain at age 18. He was an active mariner until the age of 73, sailing clipper ships to most of the major ports of the world. He perhaps commanded more ships and sailed more miles than any other mariner of the period.
