Maritime Supply Co. - Pendants
The North Carolina State motto is Esse quam videri which means ” to be rather than to seem.” That motto has always held a special place in my heart for various reasons, so I was thrilled when I came across a pendant from Maritime Supply Co that had that motto engraved. I had to have it. I like wearing it and being reminded of my home state and to be rather than to seem in my daily life. Maritime Supply Co is a South Carolina-based company with various pendants and apparel; check them out! – Michael Maynor
