Daring was built at Tacoma in 1909 by the shipyard of Crawford and Reid for Matthew McDowell's Seattle-Tacoma-East Pass route.

Daring was 98 feet (30 m) long and rated at 163 gross register tons (GRT).

From 1916 to 1918, Daring was operated as a tug by Chesley Tug Co. out of Seattle, and was then sold to Pacific Great Eastern Railway, Victoria, British Columbia and renamed Clinton.
