Nautical antiques, salvage, historical artifacts and curiosities
Since 1979 we've been outfitting sailing ships, attracting collectors of historical and unusual artifacts, adding authenticity to movie and TV productions, gaining recognition from national news media while welcoming thousands of visitors to our seaport shops (Baltimore, 1979-1999; Portland, 1999-2008).
In winter, 2009, we moved China Sea to our barn and workshop in Gray, Maine, with the intention of focusing on serving customers and friends throughout the United States as well as in Maine. Visitors to our barn are always welcome but we ask that you call ahead.
