Historical Context
A. Mylne & Co. was founded in 1896 and operated as one of Scotland's foremost yacht design offices until approximately 1980. Lola, as design number 1, occupies a unique place in the company's history—it is the first design formally recorded in the office's surviving register. The year 1899 falls within the formative period of the practice, when Alfred Mylne was establishing his reputation in Scottish and British yachting circles. The absence of detailed records for this vessel is consistent with archival losses common to design offices of the era, where early drawings and specifications were not always preserved with later material.
