At the age of 21 in 1875, he became the master of the fishing smack "Eunice Cobb" , in which he fished along the Atlantic coast. This vessel was owned by Leonard Brightman of Fall River. In 1880, he was master of the schooner, "Why Not" of which he was the owner and in 1883 he was commander of one of the first steamers engaged in the fishing business, the "Fearless" owned by the William J. Brightman & Co. of Tiverton and for 13 years he was commander. In 1894, Captain Brownell engaged in the coal business at Portsmouth and now also deals in hay and straw. He has built a dock on the Sakonnet Rover, this dock being the first passenger and freight wharf built on the Portsmouth side of the Sakonnet River, and there he has since been most successfully engaged in business. In 1889 Captain Brownell engaged in the finshing business on an extensive scale for himself, purchasing the steamer "Spy" which was owned by the Gladding and Co. of Newport.
