The Gift Shop (Nautical Term: Slop Chest) is in a
small forward section of No. 4 Tween Deck. It offers a variety of
merchandise pertaining to the ship and related maritime activities, such as
golf shirts, caps,
tee shirts, wine glasses, and beer mugs, all of

Victory Ship, and T2 Tankers on them, as well as jacket arm patches for
