Hi Casso,
Trawlers would be perfecty feasable in the early years.
Unfortunately there is no easy way to trace him backwards from 1914 other than through Crew Agreements.

Thanks for your help, I tried looking up Teano but the Maritime History Archive lists it as E2 No Official Log present.

Don't worry about that - it simply means they only have the Crew Agreement which is part of the Official Logbook but they do not have the rest of the document. If you need details of the 1914 Log then you would need to consult The National Archives, Kew, piece
BT 165/984 - Ship's Name Teano Official Number 136164 Dates of Voyages 30 November 1913 - 8 February 1914, 21 February 1914 - 16 April 1914, 5 May 1914 - 2 July 1914, 15 July 1914 - 29 September 1914 and 3 October 1914 - 27 December 1914.
But if it is just the Crew Agreement which is all you need if you are looking for previous ship then MHA Canada will have it. I am not sure if Kew also hold the Crew Agreement in their extracts of the Official Logbook for that year, maybe worth an email.
Regards
Hugh
