Description
Worn by Fred Haise aboard the U.S.S. Iwo Jima and to meet President Nixon in Hawaii.
Apollo 13 Recovery Ship U.S.S. Iwo Jima Hat
Directly from the Personal Collection of Lunar Module Pilot Fred
Haise, with Signed Letter of Authenticity. A blue wool
baseball-style cap, size 7 1/8, by Harvard Sports Headwear (by
Pittsburgh Hat & Cap Co. tag) with yellow cloth bullion on the bill
and an embroidered "U.S.S. IWO JIMA/ ASTRONAUT/ HAISE/ APOLLO 13"
on the front. This was the hat worn by Fred Haise in the iconic
recovery photos aboard U.S.S. Iwo Jima following the
perilous flight of Apollo 13. The images of the three-man crew
safely back on Earth were a welcome sight worldwide as the nearly
disastrous mission captivated millions. A likeness of this hat sits
atop a statue of Haise and the Apollo 13 crew as part of a
life-size sculpture unveiled at the Space Center in Houston in
2021. An incredibly unique opportunity to obtain an iconic memento
of the American space program directly from the astronaut that wore
it over fifty four years ago. Light age related wear, very fine.
