High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Valkyrie II was the unsuccessful British challenger of the eighth America's Cup race in 1893 against American defender "Vigilant". Valkyrie II is a gaff-rigged cutter. She was designed by George Lennox Watson and built with His Majesty's Yacht Britannia by D & W Henderson & Company, Meadowside, Partick on the River Clyde, Scotland in 1893 for owner Lord Dunraven of the Royal Yacht Squadron. Valkyrie II had a steel frame, a wooden hull, and a pine deck. Valkyrie II was launched on April 29th, 1893, a week after Britannia, and sailed to the U.S. that October to compete in the eighth America's Cup. It lost to New York Yacht Club defender Herreshoff-designed Vigilant, 0-3. Valkyrie II existed for barely a single year.
