Historical Significance

The Hector The Ship Ancient Tartan honors the voyage of the ship "Hector," which carried Scottish emigrants to Nova Scotia in 1773. Known as the "Scottish Mayflower," this ship symbolizes the courage and determination of those early settlers who sought a new life across the Atlantic. While not connected to a particular clan, the tartan embodies the perseverance and resilience of these Scots in their journey to establish roots in the New World. The Hector voyage remains a significant moment in Scottish-Canadian history, reflecting the enduring ties between Scotland and Nova Scotia.
