Historic Westport Light Tee – Westport Harbor Collection
Rooted in Heritage. Worn with Purpose.
Nestled where the Westport River meets the Atlantic, Westport, Massachusetts has quietly told America’s coastal story for centuries. The Historic Westport Light Tee pays tribute to this storied town — where shipbuilders once shaped schooners, Wampanoag people once fished the estuaries, and lighthouses stood guard against treacherous tides. With soft fabric and a clean fit, this shirt lets you wear a piece of history, whether you’re strolling Gooseberry Island or sipping coffee miles from shore.
A Town That Lit the Way
Westport’s maritime legacy goes far beyond pretty beaches. The Westport Point Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and remains one of the best-preserved coastal villages in New England. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the town was a bustling hub for whaling, fishing, and trade. From Hix Bridge to the Horseneck barrier beach, the coastline was shaped by bold captains and boatbuilders who knew the tides like the back of their weathered hands.
Though Westport never had a towering lighthouse like some larger ports, its navigational aids—from lantern-lit piers to fog bells and day beacons—were just as crucial to the survival of sailors. The Historic Westport Light Tee symbolizes the town’s guiding role in New England’s coastal heritage: humble, steadfast, and full of heart.
Why You’ll Love It
The Historic Westport Light Tee is soft, lightweight, and made for comfort—just like the sea breeze on a quiet September morning. It stretches in all the right places, making it perfect for beach walks, bonfires, and Sunday drives through the backroads of Buzzards Bay. Whether you’re a local, a visitor, or someone who just loves New England charm, this tee helps you carry that coastal spirit wherever life takes you.
