A chandler was (and is) a person that supplies things that a ship needs to operate. Paint, rope, nuts and bolts, flashlights and batteries. Years ago it included candles (origin of chandler), There was not a set wage paid, much like a storekeeper. Depended on what you were buying, and how much of it. Some chandlers became wealthy, some went broke.
