At Maumee City, Stebbins built the side-wheel steamer Chesapeake in 1838 with Frederick Nelson Jones. The James Wolcott (1844) and G. P. Griffith (1847), also side-wheel steamers, were built by Stebbins in Maumee, Ohio. The final build credited to him is the Globe (1st), built at Toledo in 1846 in partnership with Samuel Hubble.  Stebbins ill-fated vessel, the G. P. Griffith, was destroyed by fire on June 17, 1850 off Chagrin River on Lake Erie; 250 souls lost. He was a part owner of the side-wheeler. Her demise figured prominently in his obituary: "Mr. Stebbins gallantly stood by his post of the engines until the last hopes of saving the boat was abandoned, and then after a severe scorching yielded to the rapidly advancing flames. He secured a boat and conveyed a lot of passengers to the shore, instilling courage and fortitude in them by his own demeanor. He returned again and again, carrying away large loads each time. His over-exertions at this terrible period provoked an attack of paralysis, which at last caused his death." Daniel R. Stebbins left this world in 1874. He is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Toledo, Ohio. SAMUEL HUBBELL (1810-1898) Samuel Hubbell established a shipyard in 1837 in Perrysburg, Ohio. There he built the schooner Favorite in 1837. A local newspaper reported the following: "A new vessel called the Favorite was launched at Perrysburg a few days since. She will soon be rigged and afloat on Erie. Perrysburg turns out shipping like a "chair factory." The crafts too are staunch, well built specimens of lake shipping and do honor to the enterprise and taste of the flourishing port from which they hail." He also built the following side-wheel steamers at Perrysburg - Anthony Wayne (1837), John Marshall (1838), Wabash (1838), St. Louis (1844) and the propellers Samson (1843) and Princeton (1845). Amos Pratt and Hubbell built the steamers Wabash (1838) and Superior (1845) at Perrysburg and the steamer General Vance (1838) at Maumee City. Daniel R. Stebbins and Hubbell built the propeller Globe in 1846 at Toledo, Ohio. The propeller Bucephalus, built by Thomas J. Purvis and Hubbell at Perrysburg in 1852, appears to be his last build. Hubbell was born in Ohio around 1810 to Daniel and Mary Ann Curtis Hubbell. On May 30, 1830 he was joined in marriage to Elizabeth Shannon in Sandusky, Ohio. Samuel and Elizabeth were the parents of Mary Louisa, James F. and Frederick F. After the death of Elizabeth he was joined in 137
