Historical Context

Alfred Mylne's design practice spanned a period of significant transition in yacht design and propulsion technology. Steam propulsion represented an established technology by the early twentieth century, offering yacht owners an alternative to sail or the emerging internal combustion engine. The classification of Design 1215 as a steam yacht reflects its historical context within this technological landscape. The archive's documentation of Mylne's designs—including those for which full construction and ownership histories are not recorded—preserves evidence of the design work undertaken during his professional career.
