Historical Context
Alfred Mylne was a Scottish yacht designer of considerable reputation in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His practice produced designs across a range of vessel types and sizes. The year 1900 places Nirvana at the transition between the Victorian and Edwardian eras, a period of evolving yacht design standards. The substantial drawing set of 28 sheets reflects the methodical approach required in pre-digital design and construction practices. Such documentation was essential for effective communication between designer and builder.
