They offer a lot of information about the first settlers in Novascotia. Their life style, the materials they used. The spectacular view of the first ship landed in Nova scotia the the prime attraction of this place.

Seeing this beautiful ship and the excellent museum is a must whether you're a visitor from the States like me or a Canadian. The immense size of this magnificent ship must be seen to be appreciated. And the art of shipbuilding is alive and well in Pictou. The staff in the gift shop was great....They're knowledgeable....friendly...and proud of the Hector. It was my privilege to spend the day there.

Love the museum and the history. They had actors playing parts of the people on the ships and the ship itself was such an education. Outside the grounds, you can find a monument to the Scottish travellers who arrived on the ship and started their lives in Nova Scotia, encouraging other Scots to follow in their paths. Very fun and educational to visit while in Pictou.

Recreation of the first Scottish immigrants who weekend the freedoms to preserve their cultural heritage and a better life in the new world. The ship landed in Pictou where the site is. You get a chance to see how they endured the hardship during the voyage. 189 persons cramped in the vessel more than 2 months in the rough sea. Sadly this recreation of the Hector now has shown sign of wood rot and will need a major restoration soon

An amazing part of history here, very near and dear to the local community. A shame they didn't keep up with the replica ship. When I was here 10 years ago it was afloat in the water and you got to check it out. Really brought to light what our ancestors faced coming to the new land.

Parked along the road, walked along the water front... Read the signs, learned that the first all Black Canadian Regiment was in WW2.

Fantastic setup and displays. Lots of information to read and learn about life of the settlers before they came over, and the harsh trip across the ocean to a hard life in the new world. Seeing the ship being restored is a once in a lifetime experience.

The board walk around the nautical museum, is picturesque even under cloudy skies.The museum itself is well maintained and includes a tour of the Hector

A nice museum with all the details on a ship full of Scottish highlanders coming to Nova Scotia in the 1700s
