:''See also Vestmannaeyjar.'' Vestmanna ((デンマーク語:Vestmannahavn)) is a town in the Faroe Islands on the west of the island of Streymoy. It was formerly a ferry port, until an undersea tunnel was built from Vágar to Kvívík and Stykkið. The cliffs west of Vestmanna, Vestmannabjørgini, are very popular for excursions by boat. A 'Vestmann' was a "Westman", or Gael in Old Norse. The original name was ''Vestmannahavn'', i.e. "Westmen's/Irishmen's harbour". ==History== In December 1759, during the Seven Years' War, François Thurot's squadron sheltered from stormy conditions at Vestmanna. The lack of supplies available from the islanders motivated the subsequent raids by the squadron on the north Irish coast. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vestmanna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
