[edit] Etimology and history
I have heard a bit different "legend" about the name: Both the riverboats and a cap were named after a gull (Shaika, similar to Russian Tchaika), common inhbitant of Danube area. The cap has the top similar to gullwing-therefore the name. History: It is part of a military uniform sets which were imported into Serbia from Austro-Hungary during the rule of Obrenovic dynasty (it is assumed that it was standard uniform there at the end of the 19th century). Caps of similar, although somewhat changed shape (with foldable top - which resembling gull wings) were, and perhaps even today are, in use in some European armies, most notably german and russian.
