Historical Context
Design 137 was created in 1907, during A. Mylne & Co.'s formative period as a growing design practice. The design preceded Doreen's construction by fourteen years, indicating the longevity of Mylne's design portfolio. Bute Slip Dock, where Doreen was built, was one of several Scottish shipyards constructing small and medium-sized vessels during the interwar period. The 1920s represented a transitional phase in yacht design: motor power was becoming increasingly standard, though Mylne continued to produce both sailing and motor designs. Doreen's specifications reflect the practical, working motor yacht types that complemented Mylne's more prestigious sailing commissions.
