Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice spanned the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, encompassing sailing yachts, motor yachts, and steam vessels. Steam propulsion represented a significant development in yacht design, offering advantages in reliability and consistency compared to sail alone. Many of Mylne's designs incorporated steam machinery, particularly in larger vessels intended for extended cruising or professional service. The survival of design drawings, even in incomplete form, provides valuable evidence of the breadth of Mylne's work and the technical standards of his design office.
