Westward Ho

Westward Ho is a Faroese smack, built in 1884 in Grimsby in England. It was sold to the Faroe Islands in 1895. Westward Ho got an engine in 1920.

Westward Ho was used as a fishing vessel until 1964. It had its home in Tvøroyri at that time, but in 1966 a group of people from Tórshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands, bought the ship.

During World War 2 Westward Ho was fishing near Iceland and around the Faroe Islands and brought the fish to Scotland, which was very dangerous.
