Historical Context
Alfred Mylne was active as a yacht designer from the 1890s onwards, and Design 227 falls within the early years of his practice. The year 1913 places the construction of Waterwitch in the final years before the First World War, a period that saw continued activity in yacht design and construction despite gathering international tensions. The survival of ten drawings from this design indicates the systematic documentation practices maintained within Mylne's office. The absence of certain record details reflects the variable state of preservation affecting historical yacht design archives.
