  Noted events in his life were:

• No Name, 1891, Hampton Parish, Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada. ⁵⁶²⁷ Arnold T. Mabee appeared on the census of 1891 in the household
of Jacob Gillis Mabee and Bella Turner Cook Hampton Parish,
Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada

• Occupation: Captain for the "Hampton" steamship, Bet 1897 and 1916, New Brunswick, Canada. ⁵⁶⁷⁶
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.
