chandlery
Maritime goods store
A chandlery is a shop or business that sells supplies for ships and boats—rope, canvas, hardware, navigational equipment, and the like.
The term extends to the goods themselves or the trade in such goods.
Originally chandlers dealt in candles and soap, but the maritime meaning now dominates: We stopped at the chandlery for new fittings.
