Historia
Globe Telegraph and Trust Company Limited was incorporated in 1873 by John Pender, a Liberal MP, who also founded the Eastern and Associated Telegraph Companies Group. Globe was formed in order to spread the short term risk of cable laying over a number of companies, and shares in Globe were offered in exchange for shares in submarine telegraph and associated companies. The Eastern and Associated Telegraph Companies Group, meanwhile, was built up by Pender over a number of years in the late 19th century.
The China Submarine Telegraph Company Limited was formed in 1869 by John Pender to lay a 1,700 mile submarine cable between Singapore and Hong Kong via Saigon. In 1873 it merged with British Indian Extension Telegraph Company Limited and with British Australian Telegraph Company Limited to form Eastern Extension, Australasia and China Telegraph Company Limited.
