Speeder was a motor launch built in 1908 which served on Puget Sound and in the San Juan Islands.

Speeder was built in 1908 at Seattle, Washington for the Eagle Harbor Transportation Company The original name of the vessel was Bainbridge.

PSN was then engaged in a strong competition with the Kitsap County Transportation Company, which had deployed a similar vessel, the gasoline launch Doncella to run against Bainbridge.

[1][6] In 1927, Speeder was back in the ownership of Eagle Harbor Transportation Company, whose principals then were E.L. Frank and J.B. Burns.

In that year, Franks and Burns sold their two vessels, Speeder and the steamer Bainbridge to Kitsap County Transportation Company through an intermediary, Arthur E. Burr.

Kitsap County Navigation Company was then under the control of John L. Anderson, whose wish to acquire the state-issued route certificate held by Eagle Harbor Transportation Co. was the motive for the purchase.

[8] In 1935 Speeder came into the ownership of Puget Sound Navigation Co. when PSN acquired Kitsap County Transportation Co. and the entire KCTC fleet.
