S. L. Wadsworth Son Inc., established in 1818, holds the distinction of being the nation's oldest ship chandlery and the oldest retail business in Maine. Operated by the sixth generation of the Wadsworth family, this historic establishment has been a prominent fixture in Eastport's downtown, reflecting over 200 years of maritime heritage and community service.

Originally founded by Samuel Wadsworth, the store once provided supplies for seafarers and whalers but has since evolved to offer marine items, hardware, and nautical gifts. Customers today visit not only for quality products but also for the unique history and nostalgia that the Wadsworth name embodies, stemming from their ancestral ties to early American history and notable figures.

Beautiful location. They have everything and can get it if they don't. An important store for this remote location.

Meant to give 5 stars instead of 5 stars to this great place!! I still stand by my claim, of you want it, they have it or will get it for you.

Great old school Hardware Store & Nautical themed Gift Shop open year round! Very helpful and overlooking the Fisherman Statue & downtown piers right on the waterfront looking out at Campabello.
