The Osborne was the second yacht to bear this name and was used as a tender to the Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert II. It was extensively used by the Prince and Princess of Wales for cruises to the Mediterranean as well as attending Cowes Week in August. Commanded by Lord Charles Beresford from 1879-81, the Osborne served until 1908, after which it was sold for breaking at Felixstowe.
