Facts and practical information

Vessie is an artwork by Wilco Traas in the water of the Oostvest near the Jacob Valckestraat in Goes. The artwork shows a head, back part and tail of a monster reminiscent of the Loch Ness monster, Nessie. The name Vessie is popularly derived from Nessie and the Vest.

Vessie was created by the same artist as the Goese dolphin, which occupied Goese minds in the spring of 2012. It was placed in April of that year in the same water where the dolphin was swimming. Initially the artist remained anonymous, but on 2 May 2012 Wilco Traas made himself known as the artist behind Vessie. The work was later purchased by the municipality.
