Historical Context
Design 370, Meraquita, originated in 1934, a productive period for A. Mylne & Co. The 57-year interval before Mermerus was built in GRP reflects the enduring appeal of certain Mylne designs. The choice of Fiddlers Ferry Boatyard—a long-established facility in Warrington—demonstrates how Mylne designs were constructed by competent builders across Britain well into the modern era. The shift to GRP construction was standard by 1991, aligning with the industry transition away from wood and steel. Little specific information is available about the design lineage or the circumstances of this particular commission.
