Historical Context
Alfred Mylne worked extensively in steam yacht design alongside his more widely documented sailing yacht practice. The designation "S.Y." (Steam Yacht) indicates this design belongs to that category of Mylne's output. The name Balaena—Latin for whale—was occasionally employed in yacht nomenclature of the period. The archive's retention of this single drawing demonstrates Mylne's comprehensive engagement with steam propulsion vessels, though the design's specific chronological placement within his career and its relationship to other contemporary designs remains undocumented in the available sources.
