Historical Context
Alfred Mylne operated as a yacht designer during a significant period of sailing vessel development. The year 1908 places Design 157 within the Edwardian era, when both traditional sailing yachts and early motor vessels occupied the recreational and professional maritime market. The preservation of twenty-one drawings suggests a design of some complexity or significance. Without additional documentation, the specific circumstances of the commission, the intended use of Novena, and her subsequent operational history cannot be determined from current archival sources.
