The Bank of England’s fortunes became closely tied to those of the South Sea Company as Initial equity for the South Sea Company had come from conversion of short-term government debts into shares of the new company. In 1719 another part of government debt was converted into South Sea shares (the 1710 Lottery). In January 1720 the South Sea Company launched the ambitious plan to convert more than half of British government debt. As the mounting British Debt was convertible into South Sea shares, the shares rose rapidly as did the government debt. It was inevitable that the bubble in the company’s shares would burst thus causing a panic in both the South Sea Company equities and the Bank of England which nearly collapsed when the South Sea Company shares crashed. A highly interesting note from this important period in world financial history. (ex. Scott J.Winslow & Assoc., Jan.2006) �� Est. $750-1250
