Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice extended substantially into motor yacht development throughout his professional career. Twin screw configurations became increasingly prevalent in yacht design during the early twentieth century, offering practical advantages in vessel handling and reliability. The incomplete record surrounding Design 1147 reflects challenges in archival preservation, where drawings occasionally survive without accompanying specification sheets, client records, or construction documentation. Such gaps in the historical record are not uncommon, particularly for designs that may not have progressed to realisation or where records dispersed following completion of commissions.
