Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice produced vessels across several decades, responding to evolving maritime requirements and stylistic preferences. His archive, which forms the basis of historical record for his work, contains drawings and documentation of designs whether or not they proceeded to construction. The survival of design drawings, even in the absence of comprehensive supporting records, provides evidence of Mylne's design methodology and the range of vessel types he undertook. Design 1101 exemplifies the incomplete documentary record that sometimes characterises historical archives, where drawings survive but contextual information has been lost or was never formally recorded.
