Signabøur

Signabøur (Danish: Signebø) is a village on the east coast of the Faroese island Streymoy in Tórshavn Municipality.

In 1903 Hans Albert Grøn built the whaling station Verdande in Signabø.

The boats Dimon (1903-1912), Kolter (1903-1912), Hvalen (1908-1911) and Skjold (1909) were attached to the station.

[3] One of the boats was rammed by a wounded whale in 1907 and nearly sank, but it was managed to tow it back to Signabø for repairs.

Verdande was sold in 1920, the material from the station went to build several new houses in Kollafirði.
