Dit fraaie aandeel leek destijds veelbelovend. Toch was de beleggingsmaatschappij niets meer dan een brutale zwendel. De inschrijving stond open bij 39 bankiers en effectenhuizen in Nederland, 23 in België en bij huizen in Parijs, Londen, Berlijn en Wenen. De financiëel journalist en uitgever S.F.van Oss rook onraad en ontdekte dat de banken een vergoeding van tussen de 6,5% en 10% zouden opstrijken. In zijn blad De Nieuwe Financier en Kapitalist trok hij stevig van leer tegen de emissie. In de pennenstrijd die daarop volgde beschuldigde hij een van de betrokkenen, een man van naam en faam in de financiële wereld, ervan een leugenaar te zijn. Dit kwam van Oss op een geldboete van dreihonderd gulden te staan. De emissie flopte niettemin volledig. (bron Financieele Dagblad kalender augustus 2002, ontleend aan: S.F. van Oss, Vijftig jaren journalist, Den Haag, 1946).

Compagnie des Installations Maritimes de Bruges, Action privilegie de 500 Fr au porteur (= preferred share to bearer), Bruges 1904, multicolored / veelkleurig, # = 9000.
The tiny shield above the bear can be blue or brown. Brown shields I have seen on series beginning with 1000, 2000, 4000, 5000 and 6000; blue shields on series beginning with 7000 and 8000. Therefore I presume that the colour of the shield changed from brown to blue at a number near 7000, making the shares with blue shields the rarer type of the two.
According to the text on the shares, another 9000 ordinary shares must also have been issued, but I have never come across one of those.

Have a look at one of the most beautiful stocks in the world !,  It depicts an elegant lady (figure-head) holding a light torch, a bird's eye view of the inland port of Bruges, and 3 sights of the city of Bruges:
left: The old harbour = The Minerva Water (het Minerva water) with defence tower ""de Poermolen"
right: Basilica of the Holy Blood (Basiliek van het Heilige Bloed)
middle: The Peerdenbrug (Horse bridge; in front) and the Meebrug (in the back).
Bruges was a port in the Middle Ages, but the Gulf of  Zwijn, giving it access to the sea, silted up and cut it off from the sea.
The company was founded in 1895, with the approval of the Government of Flanders and the city of Bruges, to construct the port installations of Heyst-sur-Mer (today - Zeebrugge) and the inland port of Bruges. It was also required to build a canal, to link the two towns. This Baldwin Canal (Boudewijn kanaal), first planned in 1545, was dug from 1895 to 1907. It was 10 km long, 70m wide and 8m deep. It ran in a straight line across the Flanders plain. The new harbour was inaugurated by King Leopold on July 23rd 1907. The company's concession also gave the right to operate the port installations for a period of 75 years. At the expiry of this period, the term was extended, and the operating company still exists today.
Bruges is nowadays one of the most beautiful and  excellently preserved historic cities in Europe.

This investment company may be the successor of Capital Growth Fund, registered  in the Bahamas under New providence Securities Ltd.

I sometimes receive questions of persons who inherited or bought shares in this company and want to know if they still have any economic value. I don't think they have and that mr. Mc. Alpin, who signed the certificates as president, has deceived his investors.

Anyone who knows more about this company is requested to inform me, in order that that I can answer those who wrote to me. See our separate page for more information on this company and related ones.

I take it that these certificates are now just collector's items, especially because of their beautiful sailship, printed in gold relief. The following certificates are for sale, all in unfolded and perfect condition. They all have the golden vignette; only the border colour and number of shares differ. Price differences reflect availability.

Panama Canal

Compagnie Universelle du Canal Interocéanique de Panama, S.A. au Capital de 300 millions de Francs
et
Societé Civile d'Amortissement des obligations du Canal de Panama Émission de Mars 1888, avec responsabilité limitée à la mise sociale
(with facsimile signature of Ferdinant de Lesseps, famous builder of the Suez Canal. in Egypt).

Design of the shares and bonds (based on the book by Grigore (1997), see below):
The 21 by 40 cm light blue stock certificate was engraved by A. Stern, Paris,and printed by Société Anonyme de Publications Periodique - Imprimerie P. Mouillot, 13 Quai Voltaire, Paris, Their names are centered below the portrait of the certificate. But it is not known who designed the stock certificate. This portrait measures 117 mm x 167 mm from border to border and its thematic vignette reveals the Western Hemisphere in a partial globe of the world; two reclining bare-busted maidens allegorically depicting North and South America, clasping hands across a sea-level Panama Canal, with a ship exiting from the Cut; and a steamship in the lower corners. n the left and right columns is a telegraph pole, partially screened by palm fronds, on which there are affixed three banners listing countries of the world that would benefit from uniting the Atlantic and Pacific Ocenans via the Isthmus of Panama. Clasping the base of the left pole is a white and Asian child, implying the West's trade with the east. Atv the right pole is a white and black child, implying the West's trade with Africa. Telegraph poles support a large, single banner on which is cited the legal authority for the bond's issue, its capitalization, its title, intent, type, and serial number.

History (based on the book by Grigore (1997), see below):
Although the issue of the shares in 1880 was probably all with good and honest intentions, the entire undertaking ended up in the greatest engineering and financial disaster, followed by the worst political scandal, the world had ever known. It was an embarrassment to France. But, at the beginning of this undertaking Ferdinand de Lesseps, builder of the Suez canal (finished in 1869), which halved the journey time from Europe to the Indies, was the world’s most decorated and honored personage. He was compared to Columbus. In 1879 France was a rich nation and hubristic overconfident in what it could achieve, with its colonies, technological developments, science and art, boasting of luminaries such as Victor Hugo, de Lesseps, Pasteur, Eiffel and Sarah Bernhardt. Unfortunately the world’s largest commercial enterprise was fatally destined to become the most disastrous financial failure the world had ever seen.

The issue of the blue shares in 1880 is the only issue of shares in the company actually placed (an 1879 share issue was cancelled). Beyond that many bonds were issued.

The march 1888 bond issue was placed only to the extend of 25,7 %, even worse than the june 1888 bond (40,1%), but not as bad as the july 1889 lottery bond (13,1%), but that was after the company had ceased its operations. Only 89.890 bonds were placed in march 1888, by far the smallest number placed of all bond issues. Much less are available for collectors these days. It are rare pieces, really.

The company ceased operations on December 14th 1888. On february 4th 1889 the companies’ bankruptcy plea was accepted. The canal was less than 40% dug at a cost of an estimated 22.000 deaths and an expenditure of about $ 1,400,000,000 in today’s (1997) currency. It has been repeatedly reported that one third of this vast amount was spent on canal work, one third was wasted and one third was stolen.

It was the worst financial catastrophe ever suffered by the French people. As a consequence, the French Government’s prestige throughout the world was shattered.

In 1904 the United States Government purchaased all the assets and rights necessary for it to complete the Panama Canal, what they finally achieved in 1914.
