The Hector Heritage Quay is a museum built to
honor and preserve the passengers aboard the ship Hector. It has
been called one of Nova Scotia's most important heritage developments.
The Quay houses an interpretive centre and a walk
through tour of displays depicting life onboard the Hector and early settlement
of the Pictou area.
Also, a full scale reproduction of the ship Hector
is being built on site in much the same way it would have been built in
the 1700's
Below is a scale model of the same style of ship
as the Hector
The Hector Interpretive Centre is open from mid-May
until October and it is hoped that the construction of the ship Hector
will be finished by the year 2000.
