In fall 1821 departed six sealing vessels Stonington, Connecticut, USA bound for the South Shetlands returning back home in 1822. One vessel caught 404 fur seal skins, the total catch results were disappointing that season with just 1.500 fur seal skins. The Express served as tender for this fleet.
