Caption

The luxury steam yacht 'Nahlin' at anchor. 'Nahlin' is a luxury yacht and one of the last of three large steam yachts constructed in the UK. She was built for Lady Annie Henrietta Yule, heiress of Sir David Yule, and was launched in 1930. Lady Yule ordered three private yachts in 1929 from John Brown & Company, Clydebank. 'Nahlin' was designed by G.L. Watson. In 1936 'Nahlin' was chartered by King Edward VIII to "enable the avoidance of formality accorded to Royalty" and used by him and Mrs. Wallis Simpson during a cruise in the Adriatic Sea. The yacht is now owned by British inventor James Dyson.//Kirk & Sons of Cowes Archives
