Welcome to the web version of China Sea! Since 1979 we've been outfitting sailing ships, attracting collectors of historical and unusual artifacts, adding authenticity to movie and TV productions, gaining recognition from national news media while welcoming thousands of visitors to our seaport shops (Baltimore, 1979-1999; Portland, 1999-2008).

In winter, 2009, we moved China Sea to our barn and workshop in Gray, Maine, with the intention of focusing on serving customers and friends throughout the U.S. as well as in Maine. Visitors to are always welcome (Map) but we ask that you call ahead.

NEW from CHINA SEA...

OLD PERKINS ANCHOR LIGHT

This is one of the first marine lights to bear the Perkins label, c. 1916. Made of brass with a heavy glass lens, it was previously converted to electric power but I have taken it back to kerosene or lamp oil. It is about 16 inches (40.64cm) tall.

In strong, usable condition with only a few minor age imperfections, this is one of our nicest original lights.
