Historical Context
Alfred Mylne was a Scottish yacht designer of considerable reputation, active primarily in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His design practice produced a substantial body of work, ranging from small cruising vessels to larger racing yachts. The survival of drawings in the archive reflects the studio's professional practice of maintaining design records. However, not all designs resulted in constructed yachts, and records for some designs are fragmentary. The naming convention—Darthula, a literary reference—was not uncommon in yacht nomenclature of the period.
