Historical Context
Alfred Mylne's design practice flourished during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a period of significant development in British yacht design. The year 1900 places Memsahib II within the transition between Victorian and Edwardian yacht-building practices. Mylne's designs from this era reflected contemporary conventions whilst often incorporating innovative features. The five surviving drawings for Design 56 document the designer's working methods and the detail required for yacht construction during this period.
