Part one-of-a-kind shop, part museum of shipbuilding history, the Lannan Ship Model Gallery (99 High St., 617/451-2650, www.lannangallery.com [1]) honors Boston’s [2] maritime past with more than 300 historical ship models and antique bells, and navigational devices.

Pick up rare and vintage coins, alongside sports memorabilia you never thought you’d see again.
