What Our Clients Say

5.0

Average Customer Rating

I have had an opportunity to buy many light fixtures from Jim and the team at Big Ship Salvage as we work to complete a house renovation on the beach in South Carolina. All of our exterior fixtures are coming from them. The quality of the fixtures is tremendous, and the customer service is fantastic. They are great about answering any and all questions, and everything arrives incredibly well packed. Can’t say enough good things about my experience.

Big Ship Salvage is always a pleasure to work with! The product quality is unbeatable and Jim and his team always goes above and beyond to ensure we’re properly taken care of. Our clients simply love their products, which is why Big Ship has become an essential part of our business over the last few years.

Authentic and unique nautical finds that you can’t get anywhere else. I first got a porthole mirror and two wall sconces to go above a bathroom sink. Later, I got ten post lights to compliment my landscaping. Jim was very willing to take the time talking through mounting and installation both before and after purchase. Their website has great detail in descriptions and photos. Couldn’t recommend more highly.
