maryw commented on the word Dixie Cup

Sailor cap.
In 1886, a "low rolled brim, high-domed item constructed of canvas" is written into regulations.
Since then, it has been affectionately referred to as the "Dixie Cup." In the early days, the brim was worn much lower, as seen here by Sailors aboard the USS Washington.
