A.C. and C.E. Brown of Port Stanley

A.C. and C.E. Brown were prominent maritime figures in the Lake Erie region during the early 20th century, primarily involved in the tugboat and fishing industries. Based in Port Stanley, Ontario, a hub for the fishing and maritime economy of the Great Lakes, the Browns owned and operated vessels like the Brown Brothers. Their operations were part of the bustling trade and transport activities that characterized Port Stanley during this era. The family was known for investing in robust wooden vessels that were critical for towing and local maritime services, supporting both commercial and industrial operations along the lake.
