The Hat
by Ann Weaver
Ahab’s hat was never restored; the wild hawk flew on and on with it; far in advance of the prow, and at last disappeared, while from the point of that disappearance, a minute black spot was dimly discerned, falling from that vast height into the sea.
Melville, Moby-Dick, “The Hat”
This simple watch cap, with a cable panel inspired by harpoons and talons, is my homage to Captain Ahab’s hat, which was snatched from his head by a sea hawk—a terrible omen.
