Edward J. Stubbs (1833–1887)[1] was an American merchant sea captain and a shipwright during a prolific period at Yarmouth Harbor in Maine.[2] His shipyard was one of the four major ones during the town's peak years of 1850–1875.
In 1851,[3] Stubbs went into partnership with Henry Hutchins, forming Hutchins & Stubbs.[4] They launched over 21 vessels at Yarmouth's harbor between 1866 and 1884,[5] including the three-mast barkentine Harriet S. Jackson.[6]
Stubbs married Helen A. Merrill on June 3, 1877.[7] They had one known child: Harry L. Stubbs (1862–1931).
The Stubbses lived at today's 109 Main Street in Yarmouth, Maine,[2] which he had constructed in 1850.[8]
Stubbs died in 1887, aged 53 or 54. His wife survived him by 28 years. They are both buried in Yarmouth's Riverside Cemetery.
