Flyer (steamboat)
''Flyer'' was an American steamboat that served from 1891 to 1929 on Puget Sound. From 1918 until the end of her service, she was officially known as the ''Washington''. The ''Flyer'' ran for millions of miles at high speed, more than any inland vessel in the world.〔Newell, Gordon R., ''Ships of the Inland Sea'', at 2, 40, 112-15, 155-56 Binford and Mort, Portland, OR (2d Ed. 1960)〕 This 1891 steamer ''Flyer'' should not be confused with the steamboat ''Flyer'' built on Lake Coeur d'Alene in 1905, although the Coeur d'Alene vessel was inspired both in design and name by the success of the Puget Sound ship.〔Hult, Ruby El, ''Steamboats in the Timber'', Binfords and Mort, Portland, OR (2nd Ed. 1952)〕
==Design and construction==
''Flyer'' was the first vessel ordered by the Columbia River and Puget Sound Navigation Company, a concern formed by Capt. U.B. Scott and others, which already controlled the fast sternwheeler ''Telephone'' on the Columbia River, and on Puget Sound, the then new and fast sternwheeler ''Bailey Gatzert'' as well as the express passenger boat ''Fleetwood''.〔 ''Flyer'' was built at the Johnson shipyard in Portland, Oregon of Douglas fir cut in Oregon and prepared for construction by prolonged storage in salt water. Unusually for an express passenger boat, ''Flyer'' included a dining room, which contributed to her great popularity.〔
