  Occupation	Between 1894 and 1897	New Brunswick, Canada   [10]
  	Captain for the "Hampton" steamship. Built at Hampton in 1894, the Hampstead made daily trips between Indiantown and Hampstead, Queens County, under Captain J. Gillis Mabee until his death in 1897, and then under his son Arnold. This vessel was relatively small, with a high superstructure that made for challenging navigation. For example, when approaching a wharf, large numbers of passengers commonly moved to one side preparing to disembark. To prevent capsizing, hogheads of sand were rolled to the opposite side of the hull. The 94-foot Hampstead was the first screw propeller passenger steamer on the St. John River. In 1916 the Hampstead fell victim to a fire, a common misfortune for the riverboats.
