About this deal

In 1773, the British government passed the Regulating Act to rein in the company. The company’s possessions in India were subsequently managed by a British governor general, and it gradually lost political and economic autonomy. The parliamentary acts of 1813 ended the East India Company’s trade monopoly, and in 1834 it was transformed into a managing agency for the British government of India. Dalrymple, William (30 August 2019). "Lessons for capitalism from the East India Company". Financial Times. Archived from the original on 10 December 2022 . Retrieved 29 May 2022. In addition, the company had its own navy, the Bombay Marine, equipped with warships such as Grappler. These vessels often accompanied vessels of the Royal Navy on expeditions, such as the Invasion of Java. Ships of the East India Company were called East Indiamen or simply "Indiamen". [100] Their names were sometimes prefixed with the initials "HCS", standing for "Honourable Company's Service" [101] or "Honourable Company's Ship", [102] such as HCS Vestal (1809) and HCS Intrepid (1780).
