The Yankee Candle Company flagship store is the world's largest candle store. It has grown into a major tourist attraction.
In addition to an endless array of candles, they have kitchen and home accessories, crafts, collectibles, a toy shop, a Christmas shop, a candy store and many other departments.
Located in the candy shop is the S.S. Yankee Candy. Painted in garish colors and decorated with huge lollipops and stuffed animals you might think it's just a mock-up for children to play on. Closer inspection reveals that this is a real New England style lobster boat. The cabin area has been left unaltered. Inside you will find original navigational equipment, ship radio controls, engine controls, a steering wheel, etc. The lucite plaque displaying the radio call letters indicates the original name for this vessel was the Patty "B".
Is there a tour: Self guided exploration is encouraged.
If boat is a garden what was planted in it: Not listed
