Little of her history is known to the ADLS. In 1940 Dawn was owned by The London and Rochester Trading Company and skippered by Mr A C Mills.

Until 1992 Dawn was sailing as a charter barge when a rebuild was started and later abandoned.

Dawn is currently owned by the Dawn Sailing Barge Trust and is awaiting a complete rebuild.

She is the subject of an application for funds to the Heritage Lottery Fund.
