The Papeete was a schooner built in 1891 by Matthew Turner, a San Francisco Bay Area shipbuilder who had extensive business interests in Tahiti. The ship was known for a fast passage from San Francisco to Tahiti of 17 days.[2]

She was built to serve in the packet trade, as was the similarly named barquentine City of Papeete.[3]

Schooner Papeete was still afloat in 1929.[1]
