Historical Context
Design 152 dates to 1908, a formative period for A. Mylne & Co. The firm, established in 1896, was expanding its portfolio into motor yachts as petrol and diesel engines became reliable enough for leisure craft. Rock Ferry, where Frosetta was built, was a significant centre for yacht and small ship construction during this era, benefiting from the Mersey's maritime infrastructure. Mylne's early motor designs tended to be modest in scale, emphasising practical cruising capability. Frosetta's 25-foot waterline length and shallow draft suggest a vessel intended for sheltered and coastal waters rather than ocean passage. This design philosophy reflected the state of small marine engines and owner expectations of the period.
