Metro Marine Corporation

The vintage hardware shelves and salt-stained floor tiles tell a quiet story of hardware needs met just south of Chambers. Metro Marine Corporation keeps the city’s tinkers, builders, and riggers stocked with everything from bolts to blocks—no glitz, just gear. Think rigging screws, deck fittings, stainless wire rope, and hose clamps that show up when the job site needs them.

Walk the Fulton Street corridor between Broadway and Nassau; the address is 139 Fulton Street, suite 315, directly above the sidewalk’s everyday flow. A quick stop emails the parts you need, or you can peruse bins full of cleats, sheaves, and turnbuckles arranged for quick grabs. Service calls are taken at the same counter, saving another loop downtown.

Dial (212) 406-2360 before you hop on the train—ask for the parts line, and they’ll page you when the order is boxed. A glance at the map drops you right to the freight elevator; no backtracking in the rain.
