	Heligoland History
		While Heligoland was a British possession about 20 postage stamps were issued between 1867 and 1890.
		Because of the many forged cancellations and many reprints collectors of Heligoland stamps are advised to either become expert or rely on specialists; most reputable dealers will not handle them because of the prevalence of reprints and forgeries.
		Heligoland is in the North Sea off the coast of Germany.

		When trying to summarize the 'Heligolander Beliebungen' one can say, they remarkably resemble in kind those of the 'Siebenhardenbeliebung' of Feer and those of the 'Seven Sealands' in what is now West and East Friesland, although Heligolanders have lived in complete political isolation from their fellow Frisians.
		In this letter he affirmed the right of the Heligolanders to fly their colors from the top of the mast if his coat of arms would show in the middle of the flag.
		The ancient Heligolanders, in line with general Frisian tradition, chose as their motto 'wholesome’ ordinances wherein it is said how every inhabitant should behave towards the living and the dead, and what every-body should contribute to the maintenance of harmony, peace, and concord.

	Helgoland (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Heligoland is located 70 km (44 miles) from the German coast line and actually consists of two islands: the populated triangular-shaped 1 km² (0.4 sq mi) main island (Hauptinsel) to the west and the Düne ("dune," Heligolandic: de Halem) to the east.
		The island of Heligoland is a geological oddity; the presence of the main island’s characteristic red sedimentary rock in the middle of the German Bight is unusual.
		Heligoland is now a holiday resort and enjoys a tax-exempt status, and consequently, much of the economy is founded on sales of cigarettes, alcoholic beverages and perfumes to tourists that visit the islands.

	An Introduction to Heligoland (Helgoland) Stamps
		Helgoland (Heligoland to the English and on the stamps) is located in the North Sea about 30 miles from Schleswig-Holstein and sixty miles from the great Elbe river port of Hamburg.
		Stamps were issued for "Heligoland" from 1867 through 1890 under a rather complex arrangement between the British and the Germans.
		The postal administration was tied to Hamburg (and to Germany after the unification in 1872) and the stamps were printed by the Prussian printing office (which became the Reich Druckerei after unification) for a German speaking populace and yet the stamps bore the profile of Queen Victoria.

	Heligoland
		Heligoland proper may be described as a precipice-plateau, containing a small cluster of houses, a lighthouse, various pole-nets, springes, and other contrivances for catching woodcocks in their migratory flights, and a few miniature potato and corn fields.
		The Heligolanders have their own motives for desiring to see the tables permitted, but their reasons cannot have enough weight to exonerate our authorities, if they defer to so unrighteous a demand.
		For all that, there are conservatives and reformers, and party spirits, and diplomacies, and policies, and all the other inventions of governments; in fact, a man may be as eminent a politician in Heligoland as in England, if he aspires to become master of the science.

	First World War.com - Battles - The Battle of Heligoland Bight, 1914
		Designed by the British as a means of attacking German patrols in the north-west German coast, the encounter at Heligoland Bight on 28 August 1914 comprised the first naval battle of the war.
		Commander Tyrwhitt was charged with leading the Harwich Force of two light cruisers, Fearless and Arethusa, accompanied by two flotillas of 31 destroyers, 1st and 3rd Flotillas, in a raid upon German shipping located close to the German naval base at Heligoland.
		Acting as cover for Tyrwhitt's force was the First Battle Cruiser Squadron, recently arrived from Scapa Flow and under the command of Vice Admiral Beatty.

	Battle of Heligoland Bight
		She was the first of a new class of 'light armoured cruiser', later re-classified to light cruiser, designed to work with destroyers.
		Arethusa had only been in service a couple of days before the Battle of Heligoland Bight but despite the risk of teething problems she was so much faster, better armed and protected than Tyrwhitt's previous flagship, HMS Amethyst, that he took the risk.
		British submarine patrols in the Heligoland Bight region in August 1914 had noticed that German torpedo boats patrolled this area supported by light cruisers in two shifts of a day and night group.

	HMS 'Aurora' at Heligoland, 9th May 1864
		An observant witness of the fight between the Danish and Austrian squadrons off Heligoland on 9th May 1864 was the Royal Navy frigate Aurora.
		Aurora, commanded by Captain Sir Leopold McClintock, was despatched to Heligoland on receipt of news that an Austrian squadron was on its way to the North Sea.
		As it was, by her presence, Aurora ensured that no diplomatic complications ensued, with the result that when news of the Danish victory was announced in the House of Commons that same day it met with a degree of acclamation which would not have shamed a British naval triumph.

	THE USE OF MIST-NETS AND A HELIGOLAND TRAP AT POINT PELEE (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Heligoland trap was originally developed from netting traps used by the Heligoland islanders to catch thrushes.
		Possibly the chief objection to the building of a Heligoland trap would be the initial cost--probably between two and four hundred dollars---and the time and labor in- volved.
		This article is a report on the use of a Heligoland trap in North America, in conjunction with mist-nets, with a discussion of some of the relative merits,of mist-nets and Heligoland traps.

	British Heligoland 1814-1890
		During the British period (1814-1890) the canton with the union flag was frequently (usually?) added to the Heligoland tricolor.
		The tricolour is flown on shore and in their boats and some have added the English Jack to mark their English nationality.
		Clerks make mistakes, and unauthorised flags are used, but the probability that there was no Heligoland Blue Ensign is supported by the absence of Blue Ensigns for Isle of Man, Guernsey and Alderney.

		Heligoland was the studio aegis of Tim Friese-Greene, who was best known for his keyboard and production work as a pseudo-official member of Talk Talk.
		Also accomplished as a producer for the likes of the Records and Lush, and later on as a near-permanent associate of Catherine Wheel, it wasn't until 1998 that he struck out on his own, quietly issuing 1,000 copies of his Creosote and Tar EP through his management at Sanctuary Music via mail order.
		A proper Heligoland full-length appeared at the end of 2000, sounding further removed from Talk Talk than his previous EP release.

	Germany's High Sea Fleet in the World War
		In the second half of August the number of reports of submarines sighted at the mouth of the Ems and in the Heligoland Bight increased, and very heavy demands were made on the destroyers to drive them out.
		If it was already known that the Heligoland Bight was insufficiently protected, because our scouting did not extend far enough, this day brought us the knowledge that a determined raid of the enemy against our weak forward patrol must inflict loss upon us every time.
		The unmolested irruption of the enemy cruisers and destroyers and the complete freedom of movement they had enjoyed in the Heligoland Bight must be made much more difficult, as also must the perpetual harassing operations of English submarines, although the latter had not hitherto displayed any great skill in torpedo work.
