Gents,
Everything that goes up must come down, and 51 years ago was the splashdown of the Apollo 11 in the Pacific Ocean, 950 miles southwest of Hawaii.
For that reason I wanted to share today a special piece, an original Apollo 11 recovery cap worn by the crew on the deck of the U.S.S. Hornet on July 24, 1969. These dark blue wool caps were made by Harvard Sports Headwear.
This example has seen some action during its life, but contains great historical value.
Hope you enjoy it!
Regards,
Jorge
