Title
Hat - Garrison (Denim), United States Merchant Marine Academy Cadet Corps, Cadet-Midshipman
Description
Ca. 1946-1947.
This garrison hat was issued from November 1946 through at most Spring 1974. In Fall 1974, it was replaced with a ballcap. It was worn with dungarees and chambray work-shirts. Photographs show it with both the midshipman anchor and Merchant Marine Service emblem, and without the anchor (like this example); with the disappearance of the Service Emblem in the late 1950s, the anchor was its only adornment.
