The Tim S. Dool is a seawaymax lake freighter built in 1967 by the Saint John Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. in Saint John, New Brunswick. She was initially commissioned as the Senneville when she sailed as part of the fleet of Mohawk Navigation Company.
When she was built the vessel was only the second lake freighter to have a single superstructure right aft, combining the bridge, all the crew accommodation, workshops and engine room. Traditional lake freighters had two superstructures, with the bridge and some or all crew accommodation right in the bows.
In 1970 the Senneville and Mohawk Transportation's other vessels were all chartered by Scott Misener Steamships Ltd. In 1980 she was acquired by Pioneer Shipping Ltd. In 1994 she was bought by Algoma Central Corp., her current owner, and renamed Algoville. In 2008 Algoma Central renamed her the Tim S. Dool after a former President of Algoma Central.
