Shetlopedia - The Shetland Encyclopaedia

Housa Voe, (HU184605), old Norse : "Husvagr" = the bay near a house, is a voe on the east side of the island of Papa Stour, off the west Shetland Mainland.
The voe is overlooked by the settlements of Biggins, Hurdiback, and Gardie.
Housa Voe has a pier and a recently constructed ro-ro ferry terminal, to where the ferry operates from West Burrafirth on the Mainland.

The Mary Hay wrecked in the voe on 4th October 1836, as did the Queen Of The Isles on October 25th 1852, the John Kelly on November 17th 1893, and the Emile on June 4th 1910.
