Historical Context
Steam yachts occupied a distinct position in early maritime design, offering reliability and independence from wind conditions compared to their sailing counterparts. Alfred Mylne's career encompassed the full transition from sail to steam and motor propulsion. The prevalence of steam designs in his archive reflects the technological landscape of yacht design during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Mylne's contribution to this field, whilst significant, remains partially documented. Many designs from this period exist only as technical drawings, their commissioning circumstances and ultimate fate preserved—or lost—through various channels.
