From the April 27, 2023 news release: "The monument is one of only two in Louisiana and 17 worldwide dedicated to those who were deported from Halifax (Nova Scotia) and scattered to various locations around the globe. Other monuments already exist in Houma, La., New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Quebec and France.

Visitors to the Loreauville monument can read in French and in English, details of the odyssey the Acadians endured and trace the different routes of various Acadian exiles."

Note:  The Acadian deportation journey referred to in the news release actually began in Acadie (now Nova Scotia) in 1755.  This version of the article has that it began in 1765.  The Acadian deportation era began in 1755 in Acadie (now Nova Scotia) and ended in 1763.

The Ghost Ship

In the fall of 1757, the English fleet launched raids along the coast of Baie des Chaleurs to capture Acadian families who had fled the deportation.

The invader made every effort to capture and take prisoner the members of the Acadian and Mi'kmaq militias who defended these same families.

It is said that pirates took advantage of the confusion to seize a ship carrying Acadian refugees.

These pirates burned the French ship in the open sea off the island of Caraquet.

Survivors who reached the shores were terrified some evenings at the sight of a ship on fire, of shouts and moans.

This same boat returns periodically and gives birth to the legend of the ghost  ship.

At the Oyster Eco-Museum in Caraquet, there are photos in a vault of the last passage of the ghost ship.

July 26 is the feast day of Saint Anne, the protector of the Acadians who fled the deportation of 1755 by sea.
