Merchants from predominantly Hamburg and Bremen established direct trade relations with these islands in the late 15th century, and managed to control the international trade with Iceland, the Faroes and Shetland for much of the 16th century. However, the Hanseatic commercial infrastructure was absent in the North Atlantic, which forced these merchants to develop new trade strategies. Besides a critical re-evaluation of the economic and political conditions, this volume offers a comprehensive study of the organisation of the trade and the methods used to establish and maintain networks between islanders and German merchants. Moreover, it analyses the role and socio-economic position of the communities of merchants with the North Atlantic in their home towns. The book shows that the North Atlantic trade was anything but insignificant. It was a dynamic and integral part of the trade network of the northern German cities, and its study is highly relevant for the economic history of Northern Europe. 606 $aHISTORY / Modern / General$2bisacsh 607 $aGermany$xCommerce$xHistory 607 $aGermany$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 610 $aEconomic history. 610 $aHanse. 610 $aNorth Atlantic. 615 7$aHISTORY / Modern / General. 676 $a382.0943 700 $aHolterman$b Bart, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0864192 712 02$aLeibniz-Gemeinschaft$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996360036503316 996 $aThe Fish Lands$91928877 997 $aUNISA
