Marine Specialties has been a Provincetown landmark for over 50 years. Often known simply as "the army-navy store," Marine Specialties is an eclectic treasure trove of salvage, surplus, slight IRs, closeouts, overruns, misprints, mistakes, spare parts, odd lots, cast-offs, and new and nearly-new items. Over time it's grown to be the kind of jumbled, inclusive, and eccentric "army-navy" store Provincetown deserves. Many people young and old call this their favorite shop. History Started in 1961 by Bob and Elizabeth Patrick as a Retail Mail Order business with a small hand illustrated catalog. Marine Specialties evolved into an eclectic Army Navy store during the 1960's.The Patrick's have traveled the world hunting down the unusual and unique. Since 1970 they have supplied other stores worldwide, although predominantly in the US and Japan. Three generations now work in this long established family business Open Daily in seasonPlan to visit Marine Specialties and other customer-reviewed, writer-recommended Provincetown attractions using our Provincetown trip builder website.

Felt like this place is straight out of Pirates of the Caribbean. You’ll find everything and anything here is such budget friendly prices. I bought a cute top here! Also, I had a doubt whether it was a thrift store but to my price the supervisor confirmed everything is brand new except the showpieces hanging on the ceiling. How cool!
