Historical Context
Design 1078 dates from A. Mylne & Co.'s period of operation, when the practice was active in producing designs for steam and sailing vessels. The designation as a steam yacht reflects the continuing market demand for auxiliary and pure steam propulsion during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period in which Mylne designs ranged from modest cruising vessels to substantial yachts for wealthy owners. The limited documentation available for Ellen is symptomatic of gaps in historical records for many smaller commissions. The Mylne design office operated from 1896 until around 1980, and not all designs were equally well documented for posterity.
