The Nahlin, pictured in 1936.

From Edward VIII to James Dyson: the yacht that tells a tale of British wealth

Ian Jack

The fortunes of industry and a handful of ultra-rich individuals are woven through the history of the Nahlin

I n the early years of this century, soon after he began moving production of his bagless vacuum cleaner from Wiltshire to south-east Asia , James Dyson bought a superb yacht. The Nahlin is exemplary in the beauty of its lines and instructive in its history, though how much of this history Dyson understands or relishes is hard to know. Despite spending a fortune (at least £25m) on its restoration, Dyson has never talked publicly about his yacht, no more than he has about his purchase of Singapore’s most expensive flat (£43m) and its sale soon after, at a loss. For a time, a kind of omertà prevailed about the vessel’s ownership among its team of restorers, though to own and care for such an elegant piece of naval architecture would surely be no shame.

What Dyson certainly knows is that it was on the Nahlin that King Edward VIII and Mrs Wallis Simpson shed any discretion and “came out” as a couple – a relationship reported across the world, though not at the time in Britain – precipitating the crisis that ended with the king’s abdication a few months later, in December 1936. “The cruise of the Nahlin” became an inevitable chapter in any telling of the event, though how the king came to be aboard such a mysteriously named vessel tended to be overlooked. In fact, the name is said to have Native American origins, and reportedly means “fleet of foot” – the yacht’s figurehead wears a chieftain’s headdress – and the king was aboard because the Foreign Office, worried by social unrest in France, had warned against his original plan to rent a villa there.

So instead he rented the Nahlin, to avoid the fuss that a voyage in the royal yacht, the Victoria and Albert, would create and perhaps also because the Nahlin, commissioned only six years earlier, appealed to his appetite for cocktail modernity. Fuss, however, was unavoidable. At Šibenik, the Dalmatian port where the king and Mrs Simpson boarded the yacht, an exuberant crowd of 20,000 turned up and (thanks to reports in the American press) showed as much interest in her as in him; at sea, two Royal Navy destroyers, the Grafton and the Glowworm, accompanied the Nahlin wherever she went – a leisurely August progress down the Adriatic, through the Corinth canal to the Greek islands, and eventually to Istanbul. The “nanny-boats”, as Lady Diana Cooper called them; she and a few other prominent society figures were also aboard, as well as a crew around 60-strong.

The Nahlin, moored off Falmouth, Cornwall, April 2021.

Of course, the term yacht is misleading. No sails have ever been involved. The Nahlin, like its bland modern equivalents, was a yacht only in the sense that its sole purpose was its owner’s pleasure, the owner being in this case a Lady Yule. Launched in 1930 from the Clydebank shipyard of John Brown & Co – builder of celebrated liners such as Cunard’s two Queens – it measures 300ft in length and was originally powered by four steam turbines. Characteristically of the steam yacht, of which the Nahlin was among the very last examples, its hull preserves elements of the sailing ship, with a curved clipper bow and a counter stern, each stretching well beyond the waterline. The shape and colour of steam yachts – white hull, cream funnel – made people think of swans. Their costs and months of idleness meant they were an indulgence that only the richest magnates on either side of the Atlantic could afford: JP Morgan, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Sir Thomas Lipton.

And Lady Yule? She was thought to be the richest widow in England. How had she come by her money? Jute, was the short answer. A longer one involves a story of British innovation and industrial expansion overseas that Dyson might recognise, beginning in the 1820s when Dundee manufacturers began to look for an alternative to hemp in the making of sacking, rope and sailcloth. Jute was cheap and reliably available from Bengal in British India, but it was tough and brittle and broke easily when it was spun or woven. After years of experiment, it was successfully made pliable by the application of whale oil, of which Dundee as a whaling port had no shortage.

The demand for jute fabric and jute rope boomed, and Dundee enjoyed a near monopoly until the 1870s, when British industrialists began to open jute mills in Bengal itself because, as economic historian Morris D Morris has pointed out, “jute manufacturing was not a complicated process [and] cheap labour was a very great advantage”. Bengal had five jute mills in 1870 and 69 jute mills in 1914, as cheaper Indian-made jute conquered foreign markets previously served by Dundee, and exports of jute cloth from India grew 272 times over the same period; even better was to come with the first world war, when the word “sandbag” must have sounded like a ringing cash register in the inner ear of every Indian jute trader.

The Yule family benefited enormously. Annie Henrietta (Lady) Yule was the daughter of Andrew Yule, the son of a small-town draper in Scotland who arrived in Kolkata (then Calcutta) in 1863 as an agent representing several British firms, and whose family eventually owned tea estates, coalmines, cotton and flour mills, railways, and 2,400 square miles of productive land – as well as the jute mills that Andrew Yule’s nephew and successor, Sir David Yule, had taken an especial interest in expanding. Sir David was a shy workaholic who rarely left Kolkata. Aged 42, he married another Yule, his cousin Annie Henrietta. When he died in 1928, soon after ordering his steam yacht, the Times described him as“one of the wealthiest men, if not the wealthiest man, in the country”.

Where did it all go? Lady Yule and her daughter Gladys made a long and expensive world cruise in the Nahlin in the early 1930s. She invested heavily and sometimes unwisely in the British film industry; she opened a stud farm. She had, in the words of the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, “strong religious opinions, a sharp tongue, and imperious habits”. Her attempt to force teetotalism on the Nahlin’ s crew was probably not a success. At any rate she sold the ship to King Carol II of Romania in 1937, after which the Nahlin disappeared from the map of British interests – missing, presumed dead – until an English yacht broker, Nicholas Edmiston, discovered it moored in the Danube as a floating restaurant in the 1990s. It passed briefly through the ownership of another Brexit-supporting tycoon, Sir Anthony Bamford, before Dyson bought it in 2006.

This week, thanks to the wonder of digital ship location, I traced the yacht’s present whereabouts to the Blohm+Voss shipyard in Hamburg; it had reached there from the Caribbean via Gibraltar and Falmouth. Blohm+Voss spent millions of Dyson’s money when the yacht was first restored and re-engined, and it may be there now for its annual overhaul. The shipyard is old and distinguished, and still fills the harbour with the sounds of building and repair work. They even build luxury yachts there; the clients include Roman Abramovich and Vladimir Putin.

Nothing remains of the Nahlin’s birthplace at Clydebank, apart from a large crane that stands useless at the river’s edge. Ships, like bagless vacuum cleaners and jute, are made elsewhere.

James Dyson retrofits classic steam yacht

James Dyson retrofits classic steam yacht

Sir James Dyson, the renowned English industrial designer has refitted a 300 feet classic steam yacht named Nahlin.

The 1930 steam yacht Nahlin was completely restored at Blohm + Voss (B+V), a German yacht building firm. The yacht has been refitted with new diesel engines and period-correct paneling and moldings.

Sir James Dyson, who is best known as the inventor of the Dual Cyclone bagless vacuum cleaner, has refurbished the classic yacht and has re-launched it. Nahlin was originally designed by G.L. Watson for a British heiress and was later owned by the Romanian Royal Family. The 1,574 ton Nahlin, which is 91.4m in length and can hold 58 crew and 351 passengers, was built for Lady Annie Henrietta Yule in 1930.

The historic super yacht was involved in the abdication of King Edward VIII, and has spent much of the last 70 years as a floating restaurant on the river Danube until it was reportedly bought by Dyson. It is believed that Dyson has shelled out GBP25 million ($38.7 million) for the retrofit project.

Nahlin visits the River Dart

Yachting World

  • July 19, 2010

One of the world's finest privately owned yachts - understood to be owned by vacuum cleaner entrepreneur James Dyson - was a visitor to the River Dart last weekend

Nahlin

This is Nahlin, recently re-built by Blohm + Voss in Germany and pictured last week end on the River Dart in Devon. The 300ft long yacht was originally built for Lady Annie Henrietta Yule in 1930 by the John Brown shipyard and was later owned by the Romanian Royal Family. She was also chartered in the 1930s by King Edward VIII and used by him and Mrs Wallis Simpson.

Nahlin was ‘discovered’ some years ago lying on the River Danube by yachting historian Dr. William Collier, who is the owner of the G.L. Watson naval architect firm responsible for Nahlin’s original design. The company has done much of the cataloguing and re-design work necessary to turn Nahlin into a yacht with a modern inventory.

Yacht broker Nicholas Edmiston arranged to have the vessel, which was originally steam-powered, shipped first to Falmouth, then to Liverpool and finally to Germany where the re-fit work has been underway for some years.

It has been reported that Nahlin is now owned by James Dyson of vacuum cleaner fame.

Sir James Dyson's luxury yacht in Cornwall after Boris Johnson text message controversy

The 300ft Nahlin which has turned up in Falmouth was previously part of King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson's abdication romance

Sir James Dyson's 1930 luxury yacht Nahlin, moored at Carrick Roads near Falmouth

Our weekend morning emails feature the very best news and exclusive content from our team of reporters

Vacuum billionaire Sir James Dyson may well have scarpered to Cornwall to escape the fallout from ‘Textgate’ as his 300ft yacht has been spotted in Falmouth harbour.

One of Britain’s most prominent businessmen has been caught up in what the Labour Party has called “new Tory sleaze” after texts between him and Prime Minister Boris Johnson about tax and the provision of ventilators were made public.

Mr Johnson has said he will publish his text messages and “makes absolutely no apology” for the exchanges with Mr Dyson promising to “fix” tax status for the firm to help build ventilators.

Number 10 sources have accused the PM’s former senior advisor Dominic Cummings of leaking the text messages.

A trip to sunny Cornwall can fix most problems and this might be what Mr Dyson is hoping as his luxury yacht Nahlin is currently in Falmouth , moored on the harbour’s Cross Roads buoy.

Launched in 1930, she is one of the last large steam yachts constructed in the UK having been built by John Brown & Company at Clydebank and was constructed immediately before the RMS Queen Mary.

In 1936 Nahlin was chartered by King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson for a cruise in the Adriatic Sea, photos from which sparked rumours of the impending abdication. Informal photographs of Edward and Simpson on board together during the cruise were not published in Britain but became front-page news in America.

The yacht was then bought by King Carol of Romania in 1937 and later became a floating restaurant in the country.

Sir James purchased the yacht from Sir Anthony Bamford, chairman of JCB, in 2006. The inventor spent five years comprehensively rebuilding and restoring it and the ship was recommissioned in 2010 as the Nahlin and registered again in Glasgow, Scotland.

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.

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.

James Dyson Bio and Career:

James Dyson is a British inventor responsible for creating the bagless Dual Cyclone vacuum cleaner. As a successful industrial designer and businessman, he established Dyson Ltd. in 1993. Dyson Ltd. is a technological firm that creates and produces products such as vacuum cleaners, hand dryers, bladeless fans, and heaters. He is known for his work in these areas. He was born into a family of middle class in the countryside of England, and his boyhood was typical up to the age of nine when his father passed away. James, who had grown up without a father figure to direct him, had profound feelings of insecurity and began searching for methods to validate his value.

He had a great degree of dedication from an early age, in addition to the exceptional intelligence and creative potential he exhibited from a very young age. In the beginning, he intended to attend the Byam Shaw School of Art to study painting; nevertheless, he ultimately opted to attend the famed Royal College of Art in London to study furniture and interior design. An invaluable lesson that eventually led him to become one of the most artistic and imaginative technological inventors of our times, he was exposed to the creative possibilities of uniting engineering with design while he was a college student. This experience gave him the foundation he needed to become successful.

Between the years of 1956 to 1965, he was a student at Gresham’s School, a boarding school located in Holt, Norfolk. As a student, he was a strong performer in long-distance running, and he attributes his success as a runner to his dogged dedication. After graduating, he moved to London, where he first attended classes at the Byam Shaw School of Art for one academic year (1965–1966), and then attended the Royal College of Art to study furniture and interior design (1966–70). After that, he began a career in engineering.

After receiving his diploma in 1970, he immediately found employment with Rotork Controls Ltd. in Bath, Somerset. Here, he had the incredible fortune of working under an eccentric boss named Jeremy Fry, who fostered the development of new talent and inspired employees to innovate. Even though Dyson had no previous expertise in creating products, his supervisor assigned him the task of building a high-speed landing craft. This was even though Dyson had never done it before. In collaboration with his superior, he developed the concept for the Rotork Sea Truck, a high-speed watercraft with a flat hull reminiscent of a tiny landing craft.

1974 was the year he came up with his first unique innovation, which he called the Ballbarrow. It was a modification of the wheelbarrow design with a molded plastic hopper mounted on a steel frame and a spherical plastic wheel. In comparison to the design of a standard wheelbarrow, this design allowed for enhanced mobility. In the late 1970s, he was having issues with his newly purchased vacuum cleaner, and he believed that the “bag” mechanism was preventing the machine from operating as well as it might have. As a result, he got to work developing a bagless vacuum cleaner that would function more effectively.

He came up with the concept of employing cyclonic separation to make a vacuum cleaner that would not lose suction as it picked up dirt, and for the following five years, he worked ceaselessly on his inventions. He aimed to develop a vacuum cleaner that would not lose suction as it picked up dirt. Finally, in 1983, he introduced a cleaner known as the “G-Force.” Because he could not locate a distributor in the UK willing to handle his product, he decided to debut it in Japan via catalog sales. After the product’s success in Japan, James Dyson established his own business, which he named Dyson Ltd., in the town of Malmesbury, Wiltshire, in the English county of Wiltshire, in 1993.

In 1993, he introduced the Dyson DC01 vacuum cleaner to the market in Britain. Within a few short years, the device climbed to the top of the sales charts as the nation’s most popular vacuum cleaner. In the years that followed the enormous popularity of this model, he introduced several new models that included various enhancements. In 2000, his firm introduced a new kind of washing machine known as the Contrarotation. This model included two rotating drums that moved in opposing directions. The machine, however, did not prove to be a financial success and was eventually taken off the market.

In 2006, he introduced the market to the Dyson Airblade, a speedy hand drier that removes water from hands without needing heat by squeegeeing it away with a thin sheet of flowing air. Traditional electrical hand dryers consume more power than these newer models, designed with this concept in mind. He is most well-known for being the creator of the Dual Cyclone bagless vacuum cleaner, more often referred to as the “G-Force.” A Japanese firm first sold the device, eventually becoming quite successful in Japan. Dyson then used the money he made from G-Force to establish his own company, now known as Dyson Ltd.

In the New Year’s Honours list for 1996, he was given the honorary title of Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE). In 1997, James Dyson was recognized as deserving of the Prince Philip Designers Prize. In the New Year’s Honours list for 2007, he was given the title Knight Bachelor. In 1968, James Dyson tied the knot with Deirdre Hindmarsh, an art instructor, and a painter. Emily, Jake, and Sam are their three children. They have three children. In 2002, he established the James Dyson Foundation to promote the education of designers and engineers. Through the James Dyson Award, he provides financial assistance to young designers while simultaneously working toward his goal of encouraging young people with creative minds to pursue careers in engineering.
