Historical Context
A. Mylne & Co. established itself during the 1890s as one of Scotland's leading yacht design practices. By 1908, when Mouchette was designed, the office had completed over 150 designs across a range of types and sizes. The adoption of steel frames for wooden yachts reflected contemporary marine engineering practice, combining the structural advantages of steel with the workmanship of wooden shipbuilding. McAllister's Dumbarton yard was a respected builder of quality vessels during this period. The early 1900s represented a period of sustained activity for A. Mylne & Co., before the First World War disrupted yacht building and design.
