Captain Daniel Dibble died at Sandusky on July 11, 1880. He was born in Connecticut in the year 1800, in which State he spent the early portion of his life, where he learned the business of shipbuilding. He removed to Sandusky about the year 1833 and engaged in the same business.
In the year 1834, he built the steamship Sandusky, and in 1835 he built the boat Cincinnati; from this time onward he was actively engaged in building steamboats and vessels for the lake trade. He built the schooners Commerce, Northampton, and Castalia.
In 1841 he built the schooner Buckeye; in 1842 the brig Columbia.
He built the steamer Islander for the Messrs Kellys of Kelly's Island, being the first steamboat built expressly for the island trade. Afterward, in 1855, he built for the same parties and for the same trade, the Island Queen.
He was a man of great energy and perseverance, prompt to decide, and ready to execute. The vessels he built, in a measure, partook of his own character; they were built, safe, and seaworthy, and no job left his hands but to bear the good reputation of the master builder to every port she might enter.
Mr. Dibble for many years before his death had retired from active business, which the weight of years had compelled him to do. He was a good citizen and an honest upright man.
