The Cod Wars

Here's an interesting piece of Icelandic history: the Cod Wars. These wars were fought with England over fishing rights--and quite successfully I might add. I'm sure most people here in the USA have never heard of these wars. Myself, I don't know too much about them except for what I've read in books, so I'll let a few links do the talking.

Here's a web site that I never expected I would visit: yes, it's the web site dedicated to the Trawler Support Vessel "m. v. Miranda".

And another light read on the subject: "The Exclusive Fishing Zones and the Iceland Cod Wars".

And, in case you're looking for a good "beach book" this summer, this one should be perfect.

Oh, and once you've read this article on "British Policies Toward Scandinavia" please send me a summary.

And, finally, if you've weathered my almost interesting Internet findings, you can click here for the ultimate word on the subject.

If anyone, anyone out there has any interesting links about the Cod Wars or has anything at all to say, please do. We're all waiting with bated breath.
