Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice encompassed a broad range of vessel types, including steam yachts during an era when steam propulsion represented significant technological advancement in recreational boating. The designation of designs by number, as with Design 1195, formed part of Mylne's systematic cataloguing methodology. Steam yachts occupied a particular niche within yacht design, offering owners independence from wind conditions—a considerable advantage in certain cruising grounds and seasons. The survival of design drawings in the archive, even when accompanied by sparse ancillary documentation, provides evidence of Mylne's working methods and the scope of his design interests.
