Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Black SS Natchez hat with gold thread embroidering and chinstrap. Includes a brown leather sweatband on the inside. Given to U.S. President Gerald Ford by the captain of the SS Natchez on September 25, 1976 during Ford's campaign trip down the Mississippi River. While on the campaign trip, which was about a month after Ford was nominated for re-election as President of the United States, Ford campaigned from the SS Natchez during the 6-hour Saturday cruise from Lutcher, Louisiana to Jackson Square, New Orleans,[1][2] a historic park in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. From there, Ford planned to spend three days in the south appealing to Southern conservatism by depicting his opponent, Jimmy Carter, as a free-spending liberal.[1] The Natchez trip was key to Ford’s campaign strategy to garner votes in southern states.
