Two vessels, escorted by the H.M.S. Syren (under Capt. Charles Proby), left Beaubassin for Georgia.  Gipson says that the Syren arrived at Tybee Island (in the Savannah River) with 120 Acadians ... mostly children and women.  He goes on to say that it led "3" vessels ... a sloop with 124 Acadians, a brigantine with 137 Acadians, and a ship with 210 Acadians.  Gipson also adds that another sloop arrived the next day with 127 Acadians who had come from Acadia via Boston.  The number of 400 Acadians above is by Brasseaux, but according to Gipson the number would be closer to 600.
     When the Acadians arrived in Georgia, the government basically ignored them. Before long, in the spring of 1756, 200 of them set sail to the north using ten small sailing vessels. When they got to North Carolina, the officials suggested that they settle down. But some continued the journey. Seven ships (with 90 of the original 200) reached Boston in July 1756, where they were arrested by the British. The Acadians who stayed behind in Georgia lived in poverty. Some worked on plantations, while some worked in the shipping industry; but they never got above poverty level. Though most would have preferred to leave, they couldn’t afford it. When the war ended, the 1763 treaty offered an 18 month period during which they could resettle to French territory. Most of the Acadians left in Georgia at this time migrated to the island of Saint Domingue.
