Historical Context
Alfred Mylne operated as a naval architect during a period of significant development in yacht design. The year 1907, when Florenien was built, falls within the early twentieth century, a formative era for sailing yacht design and construction. The preservation of eight drawings for Design 135 indicates that this design received formal development and technical documentation, standard practice for commissions of the period. However, without dated records of the design's creation or commissioning details, its precise chronological position within Mylne's broader body of work remains uncertain. The design archive itself represents an invaluable historical resource, though individual designs—particularly those from the earliest phases of Mylne's practice—may lack complete supporting documentation.
