Historical Context
Alfred Mylne was active as a yacht designer during the early twentieth century, a period marked by significant developments in yacht design and construction. Design 144 falls within the early years of his documented practice. The single screw type indicated in the classification reflects the propulsion technology of the era. The 1907 construction date of White Heather positions the design within the Edwardian period of yacht building, when steam and early motor propulsion were gradually being adopted alongside traditional sailing vessels. The preservation of 23 drawings demonstrates the level of technical documentation typical of professional yacht design offices of the period.
