The Pineapple: A Symbol of Hospitality
The pineapple is regarded as a symbol of hospitality brought to us by Spanish Ship captains and found in North America as this symbol especially on the east coast of Maine. The story retells about the ships that brought back fresh fruit from the tropical islands to the mainland. The captain of the ship when in port with all this fresh fruit would slice off the bottom of a pineapple and attach it to the end of his gatepost as a symbol that he was in town and welcomed all the villagers to come and share in his bounty. We are guessing they did come and ate fresh fruit and were welcomed by the captains hospitality! Therefore this symbol of the pineapple and hospitality has grown around the world and is now also found in the Pineapple Dining Room of Telegraph House, in Port Stanley. Almost all of the pineapples you will see here are gifts from friends, on the shelves, in the gardens and on our walls! We welcome you to come and enjoy our hospitality in this new room!
