All of our ship salvage comes from "shipbreaking" yards around the world and is actually salvaged from working vessels. Once retired, the ships are essentially "scrapped" and all the tools, parts and various components are stored in these yards until we buy them. Some items we have refurbished, some we keep as-is. This inventory is always changing as we try to find new pieces each time we comb the breaking yards during our travels. Please call or e-mail for availability! |
