No. A licensed ship chandler may not purchase alcohol from a package store to fulfill a ship’s need. Ship chandlers may only purchase alcohol from an “authorized source” i.e. a Massachusetts wholesaler (licensed under Section I8 of G.L. Chapter 138), a Massachusetts Farmer‑Winery (licensed under Section 19B), or a Massachusetts Farmer‑Brewery (licensed under Section 19C).
