James Mighels was a British Naval officer who rose to the rank of rear admiral in the Royal Navy. In 1719 during the War of the Quadruple Alliance he commanded the naval contingent in the Raid on Vigo, a naval descent on the Spanish port town of Vigo. The land forces were under the command of Lord Cobham who successfully occupied Vigo and sent forces into the surrounding countryside.[1]
