Sir Trevor Dawson was an American-built Canadian bulk carrier that operated from 1916 to 1970 on the Great Lakes. She was launched on September 9, 1916 as hull #524. She was built by the Superior Shipbuilding Company of Superior, Wisconsin using the stern of the wrecked bulk freighter William C. Moreland. She was powered by a 2,000-horsepower (1,500 kW) triple expansion steam engine, supplied by two coal-fired Scotch marine boilers. The Sir Trevor Dawson's first owner was the American Interlake Company. Her homeport was Duluth, Minnesota. She entered service in December 1916 carrying a load of grain to Duluth.
