Ship’s Store
​
Wear the Mission. Share the Story. Help Carry It Forward.
The American Saudade Ship’s Store offers apparel, accessories, commemorative items, and maritime-inspired merchandise representing the people, programs, vessel, and heritage behind American Saudade, Inc.
Every item helps introduce the mission to someone new. A shirt may begin a conversation about Cape Verdean or Portuguese maritime history. A cap may lead someone to ask about S/V American Saudade. A SubSafe to SailSafe™ item may open a discussion about disciplined vessel preparation. A 360-DEEP™ design may encourage someone to examine history from a broader perspective.
The Ship’s Store is therefore more than a retail page. It is another way to carry the mission into the community.
