Captain Hat
A captain’s hat, also known as a skipper’s hat or a yacht cap, is a distinctive type of headgear often associated with maritime culture and nautical fashion. It typically features a flat-topped, visorless cap with a shiny black peak and a gold or silver emblem on the front. The emblem usually consists of a symbol or insignia representing maritime themes, such as an anchor, a ship’s wheel, or crossed nautical flags.
The captain’s hat has become an iconic symbol of authority and leadership, often worn by captains of ships, yacht owners, and maritime enthusiasts. While historically associated with naval officers and ship captains, the hat has also been adopted as a fashion accessory and costume prop in various contexts, including themed parties, theatrical productions, and cruise ship events.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the captain’s hat carries symbolic significance, representing qualities such as leadership, professionalism, and maritime adventure. It is often used as a visual cue to denote authority or command in nautical-themed settings, whether on board a ship, at a maritime event, or in popular culture depictions of seafaring adventures.
Overall, the captain’s hat remains a timeless and recognizable symbol of maritime tradition and seafaring heritage, evoking images of adventure on the high seas and the romantic allure of life at sea.

Morning
Leon Granacki’s favorite outdoor scenes were of rippling Minnesota streams, towering pine trees, and flocks of Canadian geese. His watercolors were exhibited widely and sold at local art fairs from the 1970s through 1990.
An Artist Goes to War: Leon Granacki in the South Pacific WWII
Like so many others who served in World War II, Leon Granacki was an ordinary guy from a working-class immigrant family drafted into the US Army and thrust into the horrors of war in the South Pacific. But through sheer luck and pluck, he leveraged his art talents to survive and thrive, catapulting himself from private infantryman to Master Sergeant and mapmaker for General MacArthur in the Americal Division’s Intelligence section. Inspired by the Southern Cross as his troop transport crossed the equator, he designed the Americal Division patch for the Army’s only named division, created in New Caledonia. Overseas for three-and-a-half years without any stateside furlough, he labored over maps of enemy positions in a primitive tent in the steamy, mosquito-infested jungles of Guadalcanal and Bougainville.
In An Artist Goes to War, author Victoria Ann Granacki paints a portrait of her father, Leon, through his original maps, jungle watercolors, journal illustrations, scrapbook photos, and letters home to “Dear Gang”—his extended Polish American family crowded together in a Chicago “six-flat” apartment building. Despite only slyly alluding to awful conditions to evade the censors’ scissors, his indomitable optimism always comes through. The Polish-language letters directed to his beloved parents are filled with childlike tenderness as he tries to reassure them he’ll be safe. His plaintive longings for family, holidays home, fishing, and a woman to love are poignant reminders of the personal effects of war on reluctant soldiers.
