''Inland Flyer'' was a passenger steamboat that ran on Puget Sound from 1898 to 1916. From 1910 to 1916 this vessel was known as the ''Mohawk''. The vessel is notable as the first steamer on Puget Sound to use oil fuel. ''Inland Flyer'' was one of the most famous vessels of the time on Puget Sound. == Design and construction == ''Inland Flyer'' was built in 1898 at Portland, Oregon, and was originally intended to run between Portland, Astoria, and The Dalles.〔Newell, ed., ''H.W. McCurdy Marine History'', at 32, 67, 76, 87, 100, 110, 145, 175, 268, and 270.〕 Capt. John Anderson, who later became closely linked with steamboat operations on Lake Washington, discovered ''Inland Flyer'' engineless and still under construction at the shipyard of Joseph Supple in Portland, and recommended her purchase to Joshua Green.〔 Anderson bought the hull, and sold it to Green and his associates who were doing business as La Conner Trading and Transportation Company. Anderson then installed the engines and the upper works himself in Portland, and brought the ship himself down the Columbia River and around the Olympic peninsula.〔
