Iceland - Vikin Maritime Museum |
|
The Vikin Maritime Museum tells the history of the fishing
industry in Iceland - from the time of the first settlement depended on fishing
until today. Since the 19th
century, the growth of Reykjavik and nearby
Hafnarfjörður was largely based on the fisheries, as
well as improved living conditions in the 20th century. The fishing industry has been the
foundation of prosperity in Iceland. The role of Vikin-Maritime Museum is to present a living
record of this most dynamic aspect of Iceland's
history.
