The pineapple is a symbol of hospitality that began with the early American colonies. New England Sea captains would leave a pineapple on a fence post spear announcing to friends their safe return from the Caribbean Islands with the special cargo of fruit, spices and rum. The pineapple was an invitation to visit the sea captain, enjoy his food and drink and hear about his voyage. This tradition has continued to this day and the pineapple motif is often seen in hotels and restaurants as a sign of hospitality.
