Historical Context

Alfred Mylne maintained a prolific design practice spanning several decades. His catalogue encompasses numerous designs across varying vessel types and sizes. Design 54, bearing the original name Zitella, constitutes one element of this broader body of work. The archive's preservation of drawings ensures that at least the design concept survives, though contextual information—including the date of conception, the commissioning client, construction details, and the vessel's service history—remains incomplete. This gap in documentation reflects the nature of historical records, where not all details are uniformly preserved or readily accessible.
