Valiant: Companies
built 263 days ago
The Valiant is one of the easiest wreck dives. She is an oasis in the sand, almost always kept company by a cloud of blacksmith. Her stern is at the bottom of a sandy slope in 70 feet; her bow points due north in 100 feet of water. Since she’s on the leeward side of Catalina, the ocean is nearly always calm. If there is any current it will most likely sweep from bow to stern and be gentle.

Valiant is a company built with many hands and a single vision. Since opening in 1959, the automotive, aerospace, construction and forestry equipment supplier has recognized challenges for the opportunities they present. Through all of the years, Valiant has never lost focus of its primary mission: to promptly serve the customer with innovative problem solving ideas. In the expeditious pace of the manufacturing world, Valiant has managed to not only adopt the newest technologies and processes but, has maintained a strong connection with its roots of tradition and craftsmanship. As competition increases many companies forget the importance of combining new world technology with old world craftsmanship and business ethics. Valiant takes pride in the successful alignment of old and new.

When Acclaim Entertainment bought Valiant Comics, the universe was completely restarted. In 1996, with the previous Valiant Universe (VH1) titles all cancelled, Fabian Nicieza, a former editor and writer from Marvel Comics, was hired as senior vice-president and editor-in-chief and given the task of revamping the Valiant Comics properties. As editor, Nicieza oversaw the new version, dubbed VH2 by the company, which re-imagined all of the Valiant characters such as Shadowman, X-O Manowar and Ninjak using the top comic book writers of the period including Warren Ellis, Mark Waid, Kurt Busiek and Garth Ennis. The line ... introduced new titles such as Troublemakers, Trinity Angels and the hit comedy Quantum and Woody.

Not many months after she was launched, her owner, Hugh Chrisholm, sold her to Charles Howard of Howard Motor Company, who renamed her, the Valiant. Her homeport became San Francisco, but she was a frequent visitor to Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and Catalina. When her guests went into Avalon, the Valiant’s owner gave them "Good for One Drink" tokens, which he would redeem when he went into town.
