Company of Scotland Trading to Africa and the Indies. DARIEN PAPERS, 1696-1707: RECORDS OF THE COMPANY OF SCOTLAND FROM THE ARCHIVES OF THE ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND, EDINBURGH.
East Ardsley, Yorkshire, England: E.P. Microform Limited, 1980.
British Records Relating to America in Microform
3 reel(s)
Though not known as the Darien Scheme at the time, English and Scottish merchants invested in a plan to improve its economy by trading and establishing colonies outside of Europe to avoid the mercantilist policies of England. The plan would also have the effect of breaking the monopoly of the British East India Company. The company became most famous for its attempts at the colonization of the Isthmus of Darien in Central America. The Company of Scotland was approved by the Scottish Parliament on June 26, 1695. The area would be colonized as an international free port. The plan ended in disaster due to disease, attack by the Spanish, and the failure of ships to arrive with trade goods. Only one of the company's voyages was profitable and several crew members were executed for piracy. The lack of cooperation by the English government were important to the Parliamentary Union of 1707.
