The winners of the Lacey Trophy will describe voyages they made in 2021 in southern Denmark, in 2022 along the Baltic Coast of Germany and eastern Sweden, and in 2023 to the Åland Islands and the Gulf of Bothnia. En route, they explored the old Hanseatic League cities of Lübeck, Wismar, Rostok, Stralsund and Greifswald, which were part of a vast trading network stretching from Britain to Russia back in medieval times, and many Viking sites, including the former Viking trading centre at Birka in Lake Mälaren. The talk will focus on the trips themselves and the fascinating history and geography of the Baltic.
