Does anyone remember the name of that great chandlery that used to be
on Chambers Street in lower Manhattan back in the 70s.
I believe it was Manhattan Marine. Their prices were a bit higher than
Goldberg's on most items, but they did carry a lot of items.
Yes, it was a great place with a huge inventory of obscure deck
hardware items and a great catalog. It was also a close walk from my
old office on Wall Street. Just by coincidence I happened to stop by
one day on their last day of business. It was like accidently walking
into a wake.
