What a great day! These two yahoos had a fabulous time handing out treats and surprising folks with free admission all day long.😎 Thanks to Zach and Amelia for going out of their way to be EXTRA Canadian today, we made a lot of new friends that's for sure! Of course, sunshine + free admission probably greased the wheels a bit for us, but they're pretty charming on their own!😉 #HappyCanadaDay❤️🤍❤️ #AmericansSureLikeMapleCookies🤗 #HectorHeritageQuay⚓ #DiscoverPictou🎻

⚓️ Big news from the Hector Project! Our shipwright Ralph Anderson has crafted the Hector’s wheel – and it’s absolutely beautiful. We’re so lucky to have Ralph’s skill and dedication helping bring the Hector back to life. 👏

All the way from Melbourne, Australia! A talented Scottish fiddle group led by Karen Anderson passed through Pictou on July 14th — just days after the launch of the Ship Hector! Although the ship wasn’t quite ready for visitors yet, we got them as close as we could, and in return, they played the most beautiful tunes for us right on the waterfront. Several members of the group had personal connections to the Hector and were thrilled to finally see her in person. It’s moments like these that remind us why we love what we do — the people we meet make it all so special! 🎻 #ShipHector #HectorPride #CanadianHeritage #CreativeCommunity #historyinthemaking #maritimehistory #tallships #PictouHistory #HandsOnHistory #AuthenticExperience #visitscotland #visitnovascotia #woodenboatbuilding #PictouProud #shiphector #thehectorsbigsplash
