The Company also established Hong Kong and Singapore; employed Captain Kidd to
combat piracy; and cultivated the production of tea in India. Other notable
events in the Company's history were that it held Napoleon captive on St
Helena, and made the fortune of Elihu Yale. Its products were the basis of the
Boston Tea Party in Colonial America.
