Hector The Ship Tartan
Historical Significance
The Hector The Ship Tartan commemorates the historic voyage of the ship "Hector," which set sail from Scotland in 1773, carrying Scottish emigrants to Nova Scotia. Often referred to as the "Scottish Mayflower," this vessel was pivotal in transporting some of the earliest settlers to Canada. While it is not directly associated with any specific clan, this tartan embodies the courage, hope, and determination of those early emigrants who sought a new life across the Atlantic. The ship symbolizes the resilience of the Scottish people, reflecting the spirit of adventure and the enduring bond between Scotland and Nova Scotia.
Color Scheme & Pattern
The tartan features a vibrant mix of navy blue, white, and yellow. The navy blue represents the ocean crossed by Hector�s passengers, while white symbolizes the hope of a fresh start. Yellow signifies the sunshine guiding their way. The design showcases a traditional checkered grid pattern with evenly spaced lines, resulting in a bold and classic aesthetic that mirrors the journey's historical significance. Made from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan ensures durability and comfort.
