Gooseberry Island Shark – Dark Tee

The Gooseberry Island Shark – Dark Tee from Westport Harbor is a tribute to one of Massachusetts’ most scenic and mysterious coastal spots—Gooseberry Island, located just off the southern tip of Westport, MA. Once the site of a WWII military lookout and now a stunning wildlife refuge connected to the mainland by a causeway, Gooseberry has long drawn nature lovers, beachcombers, and curious travelers. But beneath its serene surface lies the raw energy of the Atlantic—and with it, the growing presence of sharks along New England’s shores.

This shirt brings those two worlds together: the tranquil beauty of Gooseberry and the thrill of the fin, blending local pride with the pulse of the deep.

Historically, Gooseberry Island played a small but vital role in coastal defense during World War II, housing lookout stations that kept watch for enemy submarines off the coast. Today, it’s known for its rocky shoreline, panoramic ocean views, and tidal pools teeming with life. In summer, tourists flock to its causeway for breathtaking sunsets, birdwatching, and peaceful walks along the rugged terrain. But locals know that Gooseberry is also part of a larger story—a coastline increasingly visited by great white sharks, following seal populations and warmer waters.

As sightings increase around Buzzards Bay and the South Coast, this tee acknowledges the new chapter in the region’s natural history: Gooseberry’s raw, untamed side, where beauty meets the bite. It’s a nod to those who see both the peaceful charm and wild depth of New England’s coastal life.

The Gooseberry Island Shark – Dark Tee is crafted from soft, breathable combed and ring-spun cotton, delivering comfort and a flattering silhouette with just the right amount of stretch. The dark backdrop provides contrast to the bold shark design—symbolizing the striking duality of serenity and strength. Whether you’re walking the Gooseberry causeway or just carrying its coastal energy with you, this shirt was made for those who know the Atlantic doesn’t just whisper—it roars.
