Historical Context
Alfred Mylne was a Scottish naval architect whose career spanned from the late nineteenth century into the mid-twentieth century. His practice was centred in Glasgow and encompassed the design of yachts, fishing vessels, and other craft. The early 1910s, when Design 179 was produced, fell within an established phase of his practice. This period preceded significant shifts in yacht design that would follow the First World War. The survival of original drawings from designs of this era provides valuable documentary evidence of professional naval architecture in Edwardian Britain.
