Historical Context

Alfred Mylne was a Scottish naval architect whose design practice encompassed a wide range of sailing and motor vessels. His archive, now maintained as a historical record, contains designs spanning his professional career. Design 18, documented with nine drawings, remains part of this collection. However, the absence of dated records, dimensional specifications, and builder information in this instance reflects gaps common in historical archives, particularly for designs created in the early-to-mid twentieth century. Such gaps underscore the importance of preserving and cataloguing primary source materials.
