Vessie is a work of art by Wilco Traas in the water of the Oostvest (singel) near the Jacob Valckestraat in Goes. The artwork shows a head, back and tail of a monster reminiscent of the Loch Ness Monster, Nessie. The name Vessie is popularly derived from Nessie and de Vest.

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

Fun to look at and with imagination you can see similarities with the Loch Ness monster.
