Historical Context
The year 1900 marked a significant moment in Alfred Mylne's professional development. His Glasgow-based practice was generating designs at a considerable rate, with seven vessels launched that year alone. This productivity reflects the buoyant market for yacht design during the Edwardian period, when private yacht ownership remained a significant cultural and commercial activity. Mylne's designs from this era represent the technological and aesthetic conventions of late Victorian and early Edwardian yacht design, whilst establishing approaches that would characterise his longer career.
