Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice encompassed steam and motor yachts alongside his renowned sailing designs. Steam propulsion represented an established technology for larger yachts during the period of Mylne's practice, offering reliability and independence from weather conditions. The survival of a single drawing suggests either selective preservation of archival materials or the design's particular significance within Mylne's office records. Design numbering systems employed by yacht designers served administrative and chronological functions, allowing systematic cataloguing of proposals and completed projects.
