• A supplier of specific products, most commonly for ships and boats

About Chandler

A chandler is a dealer in specific supplies, most often for a ship. Think about it: You’ve been at sea for months, and you’re coming into port in the middle of the night. You need to restock and make a quick turnaround back to the seas. You won’t go to a regular grocery and hardware store. You’ll go to a specialized wholesaler, or chandler, for all your provisions.

Did you Know?

A chandler is a candlemaker, but this role had quite a bit more importance in pre-electricity times, when candles were a primary source of light. In medieval households, the head of the chandlery was responsible for all items made from wax or tallow, including candles and soap.

Round Robin Update...

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Another update to the update; we now have seven eight writers for the Christmas Round Robin.  But, wait... we have 12 chapters.  Hmmm... that means there are five four people missing.  I mean, we could double up, but one chapter each is so much nicer, don't you think?

So, where are you?  You've heard the call, read the messages and you know you want to write this one little chapter that has your name on it.
C'mon... sign up.
