This photo was on a Facebook page called Ritchie Blackmore's Pilgrim Hat.

It's titled The First Thanksgiving, 1621 (colorized)

  Dave starts starts posting Blackmore trivia ... MY WORK IS DONE HERE !!!



PS: "Ritchie with Pilgrim hat and Ronnie" is actually a promo shot from when they both started Rainbow in 1975. Ritchie's rapidly receding hairline had become an issue (for him) by then and it would take a few years before he had his first hair transplant which had him all of the sudden change from this (1974):


WHADDAYA MEAN, I HAVE
"THINNING HAIR"?!

to this here (1977):
 

BACK WITH A BANG(S)!!!

Once the hair problem got fixed, the Pilgrim hat made no reappearance though Ritchie retained a penchant for more dramatic headwear even in later years.
