Put these two words together, add a couple of hard-nosed swash-bucklers, and you have one of Galveston Island's most unique shopping experiences.
Nautical Antiques & Decor (2202 Mechanic), owned by Adrienne and Michael Culpepper, boasts some of the finest sea worthy relics around. The shop specializes in everything nautical from boat oars to maritime signal flags, antique pieces of ship, and other unique flavor-ful floatation devices.
And if you don't feel like walking the plank, fear not. There's plenty of other things for land-lovers to sink their toes into.
Be sure to check 'em out next time you're downtown. They're just a block off the Strand. Or find them online at www.piecesofship.com.
Hours of operation: Thursday - Monday 10am - 6pm; Sunday, 11am - 4pm; Closed Tuesday and Wednesday
