Historical Context
Alfred Mylne (1881–1960) was a Scottish naval architect of considerable reputation, known for designs across multiple vessel types including yachts, fishing boats, and commercial craft. Steam yachts, whilst declining in popularity during the early twentieth century as petrol and diesel engines became standard, continued to be commissioned by patrons who valued their reliability and aesthetic qualities. The presence of design 1216 within Mylne's portfolio suggests engagement with this specialised market, though detailed records of the commission have not survived. The two extant drawings constitute the primary documentary evidence of Mylne's design intention for this vessel.
