History of Derby
Chapter IX. Commercial enterprises; pp. 266,267:

"As we come down to later times, we find that during the cold summer of 1816, Capt. Lemuel Chatfield built a sloop called the Champion, which was launched just north of what is now the west end of Ousatonic bridge in the new and enterprising village of Shelton. Chatfield employed Zephaniah and Israel Hallock, brothers, as builders, who came from Stony Brook, Long Island. The Huntington side of the river being unfavorable for launching, Chatfield bought the Sugar street place of about ten acres, including the old store which was used afterwards as a ship carpenter's shop" (findagrave.com)
