She was requisitioned by the United States Navy during World War II for service and became the property of the United States government. Ultimately the yacht was sold out for scrap.

  • Die Meteor, vom Stapel gelaufen 1902, war die dritte einer Reihe von kaiserlichen Rennyachten von Wilhelm II., die den Namen Meteor trugen. Aus diesem Grunde wird sie in der Literatur auch als Meteor III bezeichnet. Der Name Meteor wurde für insgesamt fünf kaiserliche Segelyachten genutzt. Mit ihnen wollte Wilhelm II. auf nationalen und internationalen Regatten den damals führenden Nationen im Seesegeln (Großbritannien, USA) Paroli bieten und deutsche Seegeltung durch sportliche Leistungen untermauern.
