Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice extended across several decades and encompassed a broad range of vessel types. Many designs produced by his office were realised as completed yachts; others remained conceptual or developmental. The archive preserves designs in varying states of documentation, reflecting the practical circumstances of a working design practice. Some projects generated extensive drawing sets and correspondence; others are represented by minimal surviving material. Design 1159 belongs to the latter category, preserved primarily through a single drawing. The name Chiria does not appear prominently in available secondary literature concerning Mylne's practice, further indicating the design's relative obscurity within the broader record.
