Nahlin is a luxury yacht and one of the last of three large steam yachts constructed in the UK. She was built for Lady Yule, heiress of Sir David Yule, and was launched in 1930.[1] She is owned by British industrial entrepreneur Sir James Dyson, who purchased her from Sir Anthony Bamford, Chairman of JCB.[2][3][4] The name Nahlin is taken from a Native American word meaning "fleet of foot" and the yacht has a figurehead depicting a Native American wearing a feathered headdress beneath the bowsprit.[5][6]

History

Lady Yule ordered three private yachts in 1929 from John Brown & Company, Clydebank, with Nahlin being the first built. In 1934 Nahlin was classified as one of the biggest private yachts ever built in the U.K. Numbered 533 at the yard, she was the vessel constructed by Brown's immediately before the RMS Queen Mary.[7]

In 1936 Nahlin was chartered by King Edward VIII – rather than using the Royal yacht {{Ship|HMY|Victoria and Albert III||2}}, to "enable the avoidance of formality accorded to Royalty" – and used by him and Mrs. Wallis Simpson during a cruise in the Adriatic Sea.[5][8][9] As Lady Yule was a strict teetotaler, the king took over the library on the shade deck where he replaced the books with bottles.[10]

The presence of Simpson on board the yacht first "alerted the world's media to the impending abdication crisis."[11][12] Informal photographs of Edward and Simpson on board together during the cruise were not published in Britain but became front-page news in the United States.[6] During the cruise, Nahlin was escorted by {{HMS|Glowworm|H92|6}}, a Royal Navy destroyer.[7][13]

The yacht was bought in 1937 by King Carol II of Romania for £120,000 and renamed Luceafarul (Evening Star), and later Libertatea (Liberty).[14] When the Romanian monarch abdicated in 1940, she became the property of the Romanian Ministry of Culture and was tied up in the port of Galați on the Danube as a museum and later as a floating restaurant.[6][15][16][17]

After the 1989 revolution and fall of communism in Romania, although classified as cultural patrimony, the yacht dubiously became property of a small Romanian private company called SC Regal SA Galaţi and was rediscovered by luxury yacht broker Nicholas Edmiston, who purchased the vessel in 1998 for $265000 and in 1999 sent her to Falmouth, Cornwall, on the heavy lift ship Swift.[6][18][19] Being a piece of cultural patrimony, a temporary permit had to be issued by the government for her to be taken outside Romanian borders, supposedly to be rebuilt by the original manufacturer, the sole keeper of the original plans for the vessel. She was then towed to Devonport, Plymouth and then to Liverpool for restoration.[20][21][22][23] The yacht ceased to be Romanian cultural patrimony in 2002. Phase one of the restoration project was delayed when restorers Cammell Laird went into receivership.[4]

In 2006, James and Deirdre Dyson purchased the yacht and spent five years comprehensively rebuilding and restoring it. The ship was recommissioned in 2010 as the Nahlin and is registered again in Glasgow, Scotland.[1][15][24][25] The refit was undertaken by Nobiskrug at Rendsburg, Germany, and completion was at the Blohm + Voss shipyard, Hamburg, where diesel engines replaced her old steam turbines.[26] During restoration, the yacht's original mahogany-hulled {{convert|6.4|m|ft|abbr=on}} ship-to-shore tender, believed lost for 60 years, was located in Scotland, having been fully restored by owner Willie McCullough. It has now been reunited with the yacht.[21]

Design

The Nahlin is {{convert|91.4|m|ft|abbr=on}} long, and has a beam of {{convert|10.98|m|ft|abbr=on}}. Her draught is {{convert|4.42|m|ft|abbr=on}}. She is fitted with a propulsion system of 4 × 2200 hp engines, each providing 1619 kilowatts; total power for the boat is therefore 8800 HP or 6475 KW.[27][28] Nahlin's maximum speed is 17.1 knots. She was originally furnished with six en-suite staterooms for guests, a gymnasium, a ladies' sitting room with sea views on three sides, and a library.[22][29] The gymnasium had been converted to a stateroom by King Carol of Romania but has now been restored.[16]
