SS Guararema was a coastal steamship, built in Scotland as a member of the United Kingdom's War Standard Class C1. She was launched in 1918 as War Avon; but completed in 1919 for a Belgian shipowner as Independance. In 1921 the General Steam Navigation Company bought her, and renamed her Mavis. In 1929 a shipowner in Barrow-in-Furness bought her, and renamed her Sound Fisher. In 1937 her hull was lengthened. In 1939 a Brazilian shipowner bought her, and renamed her Guararema. She was sunk in a collision off the coast of Brazil in 1949.
