Interesting fact:  St. Helena Island is where Napoleon was exiled after his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, and where he spent the last six years of his life until his death on May 5, 1821.

Nice! 

St Helana is a British Overseas Territory, but France owns 3 parcels of land there called French Domains of St Helena. One of course is the refurbished house that Napoleon I was in. Longwood House.

My great-great-great grandfather was one of the guards on St. Helena when Napoleon was there. My great-great grandfather was born on St. Helens.
