Atalanta was a 228-foot (69 m) steam yacht built in Philadelphia by William Cramp & Sons in 1883 for the financier Jay Gould.

[1] Atalanta was built for Jay Gould the same year that American Yacht Club was founded and its inclusion in the club's fleet of steamships was considered a great coup.

[2] Gould died in 1892, and it was sold to the Venezuelan Navy in 1900 where it served as the gunboat Restaurador (Restorer).

It was captured by the Imperial German Navy during the Venezuelan crisis of 1902–03 and put into service under a German flag as part of the blockading squadron.
