The sister statue in Vik

One of the Voyage sculptures (the other in Iceland) looking out to The Deep.

Ties which survived the bitter Cod War and intense economic rivalry over fishing are to be marked by an unusual Yorkshire expedition to Iceland.

 

The Lord Mayor of Hull, whose deep sea trawlers were the main UK victim of the 1970s dispute, is hoping to secure a bronze replacement for a 'friendship statue' which given to the city in 2006 by the Icelandic fishing community of Vik-i-Myrdal.
