Partnership sculpture dedication

This dedication is attached to a sculpture that sits along the waterfront of Reykjavik Harbor. It was a gift from journalist and activist Charles E Cobb and his wife. It reads:

Ambassador and Mrs.

Charles E Cobb

commissioned PARTNERSHIP

as a gift to commemorate

fifty years of diplomatic

relations between Iceland

and the United States.

In the fifty years between

1941 and 1991 the two countries

have enjoyed a close partnership

in many areas of common interest.

A second identical

PARTNERSHIP sculpture

commissioned by the Cobbs,

sits beside a bay 

in South Florida, linked

to this sculpture by the

endless flow of the 

Atlantic Ocean Gulf Stream.

 

 

Dedicated July 4, 1991
