Hanseatic Links are Celebrated
By Linda Tancs
Throughout the North Sea and Baltic Sea regions, seafaring merchants joined together centuries ago to form a social, cultural and economic alliance known as the Hanseatic League. During medieval times, League members met on a “Hanse day” to agree on commercial matters. Nowadays Hanseatic unity is celebrated each year on International Hanse Day. Celebrated on the third Saturday of May, the maritime communities commemorate their Hanseatic links, past and present. At England’s King’s Lynn, for instance, the medieval maritime town will feature guided walking tours along the waterfront, fire breathers and minstrels, archery, craft demonstrations and fireworks.
