Historical Context

Alfred Mylne was a prominent Scottish yacht designer whose practice spanned several decades. Design 318 belongs to a broader body of work reflecting early twentieth-century yacht design practices. The construction of Melmore in 1928 places this design within the period following the First World War, when yacht building and design resumed in British shipyards. The survival of 38 drawings for this design indicates its significance within Mylne's office records. Without additional documentation, the specific circumstances of the design's commission and its reception remain part of the archive's incomplete historical record.
