The South Sea Company


 

More well known than The South Sea Company is perhaps the "South Sea Bubble" (1711 - September 1720) which is the name given to the economic bubble that occurred through overheated speculation in the company shares during 1720. The price collapsed the same year after reaching a peak in September.
