This sailing is historically significant as the first large scale migration from Scotland to Prince Edward Island.

Note that John MacDonald (1742-1810) was not on this sailing but he was the organizer so I include him here. He followed the next year after settling his affairs in Scotland. https://glenaladalepei.com/past/ http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/macdonald_of_glenaladale_john_5E.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_MacDonald_of_Glenaladale https://electricscotland.com/history/articles/glenaladale_pioneers.htm https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/pei-glenaladale-preparations-2022-schoolhouse-1.5865218
