Alfred Mylne maintained an active design practice spanning several decades during a period of significant change in yacht propulsion technology. The transition from sail to steam, and subsequently to motor propulsion, created diverse design requirements. Steam yachts represented a particular category, often combining auxiliary steam power with sail or operating under steam alone. The name Tsuru suggests a possible connection to Japanese or Asian clientele, though this remains speculation without documented evidence. Archive records for numerous designs remain incomplete, reflecting the passage of time and the vicissitudes of historical documentation.
