Built in Pembroke, Ontario in 1887, the G. B. Pattee is one of three steamers with that name. It was renamed to the C. B. Powell in 1891, and is listed as a paddle wheel steamer. It was 139 feet long, 37 feet wide, and had a depth of 7 feet. The G. B. Pattee was owned by the Upper Ottawa Improvement Co., and named after a prominent business man of the time. In 1896, the C. B. Powell is recorded as serving on the Lower Allumette (near Westmeath) as a tug. According to The Canada Gazette, as of March 7, 1903, the C. B. Powell charged $6.00 per hour of towing, putting the steamer in league with the Lady Minto, E. H. Bronson, Alexander Fraser, Hamilton, J. L. Murphy, G. B. Greene, and the Albert. It burnt near Ottawa sometime after 1905.
