Log book and visitors' book, 1893-1907, of William K. Vanderbilt's steam yacht Valiant. The log book begins with a description of the yacht's building by Laird Brothers at Birkenhead, and continues with a log of her voyages, including a summary on a laid-in printed slip of one voyage from New York to Gibraltar, and a written itinerary of a Mediterranean cruise early in 1907. The visitors' book contains signatures of visitors to the yacht, who include numerous aristocratic and well-known people, and lists of people present at parties held on the yacht, including seating plans for lunch and dinner parties.
