According a Wall Street Journal article by Bill Coles, dated August 22, 2006 (page D6), one explanation is that sailors who retired used to carve pineapples on their gateposts announcing they were returning home. By building this huge Pineapple in 1777, Lord Dunmore was announcing his retirement in a unique, and grand way.
