S1 E1: Historian Neil Oliver recounts the horrifying story of the highland migrants who left Scotland in 1773 to settle in Nova Scotia. He uncovers their terrifying journey on a filthy disease-ridden ship: the Hector. Neil uncovers how the migrants were deceived by speculators and goes on to meet their descendants. For some in Nova Scotia, the Hector has become little short of a Canadian 'Mayflower'.
