Such Strong Hands is a shop in the Merry Kraken, around the Flotilla, that sells general goods and tableware, and specializes in scrimshawed items. This is a rotating shop and may not be available at certain times. 

Specialty designs are available from a half-elven pirate artisan.
[Such Strong Hands] Room: 7134231
Framed by dark wood, the stall is lit by archaic lanthorns anchored to its four supports. Salt-stained shingles create a functional roof, while brass and bronze fixtures keep the various shelves anchored to the three walls. Trinkets crafted of bone line the shelves, their smooth faces slightly yellowed and illuminated by the surrounding lanterns. You also see a half-elven pirate artisan.
