• Source: Meteor III (yacht)

Meteor was the third yacht of that name to be owned by Kaiser Wilhelm II. It was a schooner designed by A. Carey Smith and H. G. Barbey and built at the Townsend & Downey shipyard on Shooters Island. It was launched at a grand ceremony on 25 February 1902 in which it was christened by Alice Roosevelt before a crowd which included her father, President Theodore Roosevelt, and Prince Henry of Prussia.
The yacht was used for racing but was not successful and was sold to Dr Harries in 1909 who changed its name to Nordstern. It then passed through the hands of a series of owners including the press baron Maurice Bunau-Varilla. In 1940, it was requisitioned by the US Navy and was then scrapped after the Second World War. Its final name was Aldebaran.
