chandlers
Maritime supply merchants
Chandlers is the plural of chandler, a dealer in supplies or provisions.
Historically, a chandler made or sold candles—the word comes from the same root as candelabra.
Ship chandlers supplied vessels with rope, hardware, and other necessities.
The term survives mainly in business names and nautical contexts: The marina has chandlers that stock everything from deck paint to navigation equipment.
