Dawn, a 50' 2" yawl-rigged pleasure boat with an auxiliary gasoline engine, was built in 1916 at East Booth Bay, Maine, by the F.C. Adams Shipbuilding Company. In May 1917 her owner, Franklin Farrel Jr. of New Haven, Connecticut, was ordered to deliver her to the Navy. Intended for World War I patrol service, Dawn was assigned the Navy registry number SP-37. However, the lease agreement covering her acquisition was cancelled in June, and she was returned to Mr. Farrel in December 1917.
