A huge onsite auction at Up From the Deep Shoppes will get underway at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 6 at 901 North Bay Ave. in Beach Haven. This will be one of the more unique auctions of the area, as the shop is chock-full of nautical antiques and artifacts collected over decades.

“We are retiring,” said owner Murray Sobel of Manahawkin, who operated the store with wife, Mary. “I’m 77 years old, going on 78, and we’ve just decided it was time to retire.”
