| Summary | "The Rival Campers Afloat; or, The Prize Yacht Viking" by Ruel Perley Smith is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows two young boys, Jack Harvey and Henry Burns, who are sailing aboard a yacht named the Viking as they embark on adventures that unfold during their summer.

Jack and Henry are introduced as they operate their newly acquired yacht, the Viking, showcasing their enthusiasm and hints at their past experiences and adventures with the old boat, the Surprise. As they cruise down the river, they encounter a mysterious stranger, Charles Carleton, who unexpectedly joins them, leading to intrigue and foreshadowing the challenges that lie ahead.
