WHAT DOES SHIP CHANDLER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ship chandler

Ship chandler

A ship chandler is a retail dealer who specialises in supplies or equipment for ships, known as ship's stores. For traditional sailing ships, items that could be found in a chandlery might include: rosin, turpentine, tar, pitch, linseed oil, whale oil, tallow, lard, varnish, twine, rope and cordage, hemp, oakum, tools, brooms, mops, galley supplies, leather goods, and paper. Restored Ship Chandlery circa 1900 at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax, Nova Scotia The ship chandlery business was central to the existence and the social and political dynamics of ports and their waterfront areas. Today's chandlers deal more in goods typical for fuel-powered commercial ships, such as oil tankers, container ships, bulk carriers. They supply the crew's food, ship's maintenance supplies, cleaning compounds, rope, et cetera. The advantage of a ship's crew using a chandler is that they do not have to find stores in the town they have landed in, nor hold that local currency - assuming they are let out of the dock compound by the immigration authorities.
