The considerable success of the first Victoria & Albert of 1843 ensured the building of her successor when it became evident that a larger yacht was needed for the Queen and her growing family. Also built at Pembroke, the second Victoria & Albert was commissioned on 3rd March 1855 and remained in constant use until just after the Queen's death in 1901 when it was withdrawn prior to scrapping.
