The boat carried 189 people. Arrived after 11-week voyage in Pictou, Nova Scotia in September 15, 1773. 250 years ago.Pictou was a small landing point, and people found forest instead of the promised farmland. Many died within months of arrival; some migrated into Nova Scotia, while many more travelled on across Canada (Canada was not formed until 1867).
The Scots were not forced to leave Scotland but soaring rents imposed by Government landlords made people poor and consider emigration to new lands.
The settlers were warmly welcomed by those in Canada and with the Hector passengers, it can be said the effective settlement of Nova Scotia began.
