The SS William Edenborn was a 497-foot (151 m) long Great Lakes freighter that had a 62-year career on the Great Lakes. She was built by the West Bay City Shipbuilding Company of West Bay City, Michigan. She was originally built for the American Steamship Company, in 1900. At the time of her launch she was the largest vessel on the lakes, this is why she was given the title Queen of the Lakes. In 1901 she was sold to the Pittsburgh Steamship Company.[1]
