Robert E. White Instruments

In 1875 George W. Eldridge published the first Eldridge Tide and Pilot book. "The Tide Book" has been published annually by the same family for over 130 years (see History of The Eldridge Tide and Pilot Book for more). Capitan Eldridge's eldest Daughter Ruth married Wilfrid O. White of Williamstown Australia. Wilfrid came from a family of shipbuilders and he was fascinated with navigation. He took an opportunity to study with Lord Kelvin in the UK and when he returned to Boston in 1918 he opened up a small nautical instrument dealership. Kelvin and Wilfrid O. White Co., was located on historic State Street in Boston, a couple of blocks from the busy waterfront. He offered sextants, compasses in large binnacles, chronometers, binoculars, taffrail logs, barometers, and charts for all oceans. For two generations the company manufactured the highest quality navigation instruments.

Today, with the fourth generation in place, Robert E. White Instruments, Inc. continues to have a reputation others would envy. We offer a tremendous array of high quality marine and weather instruments supported by an exceptionally knowledgeable staff.

Chatham Antiques

Our main focus is items from 1850 - 1920, a period during which the Northeast and Europe underwent a transition from Victorian to a number of new styles including Arts & Crafts and Mission. From ornate to simpler lines and forms, this period offers a broad range of interesting styles and period pieces.

Each of our items is carefully selected by us to reflect quality workmanship, beauty, excellent condition and good value. The items are both decorative and useful. We are proud to feature these items in our shop and home and hope you will enjoy them as well. We have built customer loyalty over the quality of our items and our sincere efforts to ensure that our customers are happy with the products they buy from us.
