The Hector Heritage Quay is one of Nova Scotia's major cultural tourist attractions. Through the depiction of the story of Scottish migration to the New World, the Hector Heritage Quay introduces visitors to the history and culture of the area. A series of imaginative and informative displays retell the story of the Ship Hector voyage in 1773. The centerpiece of the attraction is a full scale reproduction of the ship Hector. This three masted, fully rigged ship is found on Pictou's historic waterfront. Hear the sizzling sounds of the working blacksmith's forge, and the rhythm of the mallets and chisels of the ship's carpenters. Also on location, the Ship Hector Company Story featuring items built on site and official memorabilia.
