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.

News and Reflections: "The Ghost Ship" / "Le Bateau Fantôme." A story told by Gaétan Dugas, Caraquette N.B. / Acadia-- April 25, 2023

Ghost Ship on Fire
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.

-- Story by Gaétan Dugas, Caraquette N.B. / Acadia
Le Bateau Fantôme

A l`automne de 1757 , la flotte anglaise lance des raids le long de la côte de la Baie des Chaleurs afin de capturer les familles Acadiennes qui ont fui la déportation .

L`envahisseur déploie tout les efforts pour capturer et faire prisonniers les membres des milices Acadiennes et Micmacs qui défend ces mêmes familles .

On raconte que des pirates profite de la confusion pour s`emparer d`un bateau transportant des réfugiés Acadiens . Ces pirates brûlent le bateau francais en pleine mer au large de l`île de Caraquet .

Les survivants qui atteignent les côtes sont terrorisés à la vue ….. certains soirs …… d`un bateau en feu ….. de cris …… de gémissements …… Ce même bateau revient périodiquement et donne naissance à la légende du bateau fantôme ……….

Ici à l`Eco-musée de l`huître , il existe des photos ……. dans une voûte …… du dernier passage du bateau fantôme ….. apercu le 26 juillet 2002 , à 5 :30 du matin …… Le 26 juiullet est le jour de la fête de Sainte – Anne , la protectrice des Acadiens qui ont fui la déportation de 1755 , par la mer .
