The Key Largo tank, for the town that is the first of the Keys and the Diving Capital of the World. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Key Largo vintage retro logo on the chest in black, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Key Largo piece: light enough for the trail, the boat and the porch, cut in a retail unisex fit that runs true to size. Order it before the warm weather does the deciding for you.

A retail-fit unisex tank in lightweight Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton. Side seams and self-fabric binding help it hold its shape, the label tears away, and it runs true to size for adults. Solids are 100% cotton; select heather and prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

Cayo Largo appears on a 1639 map, the Overseas Railroad reached it in 1912, the Overseas Highway in 1938, and on June 1, 1952, Rock Harbor renamed itself for the Bogart film. Thirty-three miles long, it is the northernmost and largest of the Florida Keys, the first island reached on U.S. 1 from the mainland.

John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, established in 1963, was the first undersea park in the United States, and the bronze Christ of the Abyss has stood on the reef since 1965. Hawk Channel and the only living coral barrier reef in the continental U.S. lie to the east, Florida Bay and the Everglades to the west. The Diving Capital is the mark on this piece.

Then came the strangest turn in the island's story: it renamed itself after a movie. A 1948 film noir borrowed the island's name for a storm-lashed hotel drama, and the picture became a classic. On June 1, 1952, the Rock Harbor post office made it official — the town would be Key Largo, trading on a fame the island had technically lent the film in the first place. The loop closed again in 1982, when the actual African Queen — the 1912 steam launch from the 1951 river epic, now on the National Register — took up residence in a Key Largo canal, where she still runs visitors today.

The name came long before the fame. Spanish sailors called the island Cayo Largo — "long key" — and the name appears on charts as far back as a 1639 Dutch map. Calusa and Tequesta peoples knew these islands for centuries before that, fishing the flats and moving between the mangrove shores; later came wreckers, salvaging cargo off the reef that would one day make the island famous for gentler reasons.
