A Norwegian yacht (ab. 1910)
The great Swedish boat designer Erik Salander (1883 - 1957) was also an excellent early photographer. This is his photo - here shown with my colorization - of a Norwegian yacht, probably shot ab. 1910 somewhere on the Swedish west coast. The SCIF archive does not provide any information on the boat. Could it be a yacht constructed by the famous Norwegian designer Johan Anker?
PS
I received this interesting additional information from the eminent Swedish early sailing historian Jan Pettersson: "It might be Brand II, Anker´s first 8mR. The yacht was built in 1907 and sold to Sweden 1908. There were at least one boat going out to meet her when she came sailing to Gothenburg in heavy weather, this could be from that location."
