This is the year for Scots to celebrate their
600th anniversary in America! It is a time for
pride in our heritage.
Twelve sailing ships, led by
Prince Henry Sinclair and manned by
200-300 Scottish Knights and Monks, set
foot on the North American continent in
1398. Their navigator was Antonio Zeno
from Venice, Italy.
Theirs was a voyage of exploration and
settlement. They were not conquistadors
as were many other explorers. Instead,
they were welcomed by the Micmac
Native Americans. The Europeans were
peaceful and harmonious, setting an
excellent example for us to follow today,
600 years later.
Our celebrations will take place in many
locations in the USA and Nova Scotia.
Listed in this brochure are some of the
events you may want to visit. Each will
have some form of recognition of Prince
Henry and his Scottish companions.
To find more information about any of
these event, contact the person listed,
who has organized the Prince Henry
celebration in that area.
