A Bit of History
Preston's at the end of Main street in Greenport is possibly the oldest ship's chandlery still in operation in the United States. Although no longer selling the minutiae required by square-rigged sailing vessels, Preston's is still a joy to wander though for any landlubber or Mariner. Included in their store are various types of shells, wonderful sailing books for adults and children, and maritime charts suitable for navigation or mounting on a wall.
