The Aeromarine Supply Company was a sporting goods retailer in the Birmingham area since the 1940s.
Aeromarine was most recently located at 4400 Valley Road in Trussville, where it now does business as the Logan Martin Boating Center.
In the 1960s, the Aeromarine Supply Company had a boat dealership at Eastwood Mall and another location on Airport Highway. Martin Luther King, Jr assassin James Earl Ray purchased the Remington Model 760 Gamemaster rifle he used to kill King at that location on March 30, 1968.
