Hamburg merchants with Iceland to Hamburg: reaction to the prohibition of the Icelandic trade for foreigners, which they claim is unfair, as they have served the Icelandic population for over 200 years with good commodities and have maintained good relations with them. Moreover, as the prohibition came unexpected, there are still many outstandig debts in 13 harbours for which the license has expired.
