Trivia: What were the hats worn by the Mayflower pilgrims known as?
Beret
Capotain
Bycocket
Pith helmet
The correct answer is Capotain
So why is this answer correct? : The first pilgrims to arrive in colonial America wore the traditional capotain hats worn by Puritans across northern Europe. The black hats, worn by men and boys, have a tall, conical crown and a narrow brim. Today, we think of this style as having a large buckle on the front, but this is an inaccurate image invented by 19th-century painters that romanticized the past.
