Historical Context
The early 1900s marked a significant transition in yacht design as internal combustion engines supplanted steam and sail. Alfred Mylne, practising during this pivotal period, engaged with both traditional sailing yachts and emerging motor yacht types. The twin screw configuration represented a sophisticated response to the opportunities and challenges presented by mechanical propulsion. By 1908, when Galma was built, motor yachts had moved beyond experimental status, yet design refinement remained active. Mylne's engagement with power yacht design demonstrates the broad scope of his practice during the Edwardian era.
