James Baird (30 November 1828 – 30 May 1915) was Scottish born and came to Newfoundland at 16 and soon established himself as a prominent merchant. Baird, a brother, and later a nephew built up a business which included a large array of general merchandise and eventually branched into the fishery supply business. He was an early steam yacht owner: GRIFFIN was built in 1865 for him by Aitken & Mansel, Whiteinch, Glasgow, Scotland. By the mid-1880s, they had entered the fish export trade and survived both the St. John’s fire in 1892 and the banking collapse a few years later. He was highly important in the founding and supporting of many industries.
