James Byers
James Byers was a New York shipowner, merchant and sealer, originally from Springfield, Massachusetts.〔''The First American Discoveries in the Antarctic, 1819'', The American Historical Review Vol. 16, No. 4 (Jul., 1911) , pp. 794-798, at p. 765.

Byers sent a four-vessel sealing fleet to the South Shetland Islands in 1820-21. He also lobbied US Secretary of State John Quincy Adams and President James Monroe to send a warship and take possession of the islands, suggesting that the American sealers were prepared to establish a permanent settlement there.

Byers Peninsula on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands is named after James Byers.
