Historical Context
Alfred Mylne (1881–1944) was a Scottish naval architect renowned for sailing yacht design, though his practice encompassed motor yacht schemes as the twentieth century progressed. The twin screw motor yacht configuration became increasingly prevalent during the interwar period, offering owners enhanced control and safety compared to single-screw arrangements. Motor yacht design represented a distinct practice within naval architecture, requiring different considerations from pure sailing vessels. The Mylne archive preserves designs spanning his entire career, including both realised vessels and unexecuted schemes. Design 1056 remains one of numerous motor yacht proposals in the collection, reflecting the diversification of Mylne's professional practice.
