ABOUT BLACK TIP SHOALS / MARITIME SUPPLY

THE WATER
BEHIND
THE BRAND.

Black Tip Shoals Maritime Supply explores the stories, waters and artwork of North Carolina’s Outer Banks.

Surf and spray.
Sand and wind.

01 / THE PLACE

A coast that
stays with you.

The Outer Banks are the setting behind Black Tip Shoals: barrier islands, fishing waters and the maritime legends of the Atlantic.

Hatteras and Ocracoke. Pamlico Sound and the open ocean. Cape Hatteras and Diamond Shoals. Real geography gives the brand’s world its shape.

Black Tip Shoals is the brand and the imagined town in its stories. It is not a location plotted on this chart.

READ THE CHART

The chart shows the Outer Banks coastline between the Oregon Inlet area and Ocracoke, with Pamlico Sound to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.

The subtle offshore shading represents the named areas of Diamond Shoals and Outer Diamond Shoal. It does not show exact present-day sandbar boundaries.

Coastline derived from the verified NOAA source package. Shoal-area references follow NOAA Chart 11555 (July 2002). An illustration for geographic context, not navigation.

Verified Outer Banks coastline, with Pamlico Sound west of Hatteras and Ocracoke islands and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Faint Diamond Shoals area references extend offshore from Cape Hatteras.

02 / THE LEGEND

Born in the Graveyard
of the Atlantic.

The name runs through the artwork. Ships, shifting shoals, storms and pirate lore form the world of Black Tip Shoals.

FROM THE GRAVEYARD TEE STORY

“Born in the Graveyard of the Atlantic” isn’t about where you were born — it’s about what shaped you.

The ghost ship on the tee belongs to that storytelling world. The catalog carries its legends into ships, sharks, fishing and pirate artwork.

The imagined town, ghost ships and sea creatures are Black Tip Shoals lore. They are presented as stories, not documented events.

03 / THE ART

The stories
become the artwork.

A ghost ship. The essential shark mark. A marlin across the back. These are recurring images in the Black Tip Shoals collection.
