Alfred Mylne established himself as a leading designer of sailing and motor yachts during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. His practice produced designs across a wide spectrum of vessel types and sizes, from small cruising craft to substantial ocean-going yachts. The numbering system applied to designs in the archive reflects the chronological recording of projects undertaken by the office. Design 1139 belongs to a period of significant development in yacht design, when single screw motor vessels represented an established category alongside traditional sailing craft and hybrid designs. However, without documentary evidence regarding construction or commissioning, the specific context and purpose of this design remain indeterminate.
