The ship Hector, which sailed from Scotland to Pictou, N.S. during the summer of 1773 began the mainstream of Scottish immigration to present-day Canada. Much publicity has heralded the launching at Pictou, of a Hector full size replica, an event that financial assistance from Clan Maclean Atlantic helped to make possible. Aboard the Hector were Macleans and non-Maclean ancestors of Macleans living today including Kenneth Smith MacLean of Truro, N.S and Donald Forest MacLean of Halifax, N.S.
