Learn about the hardships endured on the 1773 voyage of the singularly unseaworthy Hector -- which brought Scottish settlers to the region -- at this modern small museum on the waterfront in downtown Pictou. You'll pass by intriguing exhibits en route to the museum's centerpiece: a full-size replica of the 33m (108-ft.) Hector at the water's edge. Stop by the blacksmith and carpentry shops... more
This was a brilliant exhibit and the staff very knowledgable. The history was very interesting especially for Scots like us
Liked the history, location, & view. It tells a story most of us have not heard of. I now more appreciate what the early immigrants went through to start a new life.
The "Hector's" history was quite interesting. 200 people on that tiny ship?? Wow! Unfortunately the gift shop (one of the few in the area) had very few t-shirts for children. So very disappointing for several people from the States who wished to buy shirts for their grandchildren.
