A number of ships are shown. Saint James' Church is the oldest Anglican Church in the southern hemisphere. In 1671, the East India Company sent the first of a long sequence of Church of England chaplains. The early, modest little church was replaced by a slightly bigger one in 1674, but was only later named Saint James church. The present building dates from 1774.
