Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's practice spanned several decades during a period when steam propulsion was increasingly adopted for yacht design. Steam yachts represented a distinct category within luxury vessel construction, offering advantages in reliability and weather performance compared to sailing vessels. The preservation of design 1075 within Mylne's archive, despite limited accompanying documentation, reflects the comprehensive record-keeping practices of his office. The single surviving drawing suggests this design may have had limited circulation or that supplementary plans have been dispersed or lost. The absence of dated construction records is not uncommon for designs from this era, particularly for vessels that may have been built by external shipyards or subsequently altered.
