A "Dolphin Project" t-shirt, dyed by The Lovin' Spoonful founder, John Sebastian, and worn by him on the cover of the compilation album The Best of John Sebastian (1989).

The 100% cotton t-shirt features a multi-colored tie-dye pattern, with a blue graphic on the front showing dolphins in the ocean that reads "Dolphin Project." Labeled "Hanes." Size L. Please note: holes and fraying present from age and use.

In the late 1960s, Sebastian acquired the shirt from an acquaintance who once trained dolphins at the Miami Seaquarium, a dolphinarium in Miami, Florida that opened in 1955, infamous for numerous animal welfare issues relating to their captive dolphins and whales. He wore this, and the "Miami Seaquarium" t-shirt also offered in this sale, as a symbol for change, in support of the Dolphin Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection of dolphins.

Includes a copy of the album The Best of John Sebastian.
