supplies" is much more common. Taginfo reports shop=marine occurs 99 times

Andy, as I said, the term is a bit old fashioned. I came across that
derivation of the English surname Chandler when I was doing genealogy and
it stuck with me.

I see that the proposal is generally well received, although the exact

I think we've hit upon yet another instance where the colloquial usage of a
term is causing problems. While I have heard of ship_chandlers before, the
term is not as popular in many parts of the world as in England or Europe.
