Historical Context
Ocean Child (Design 100) dates to 1904, a formative decade for A. Mylne & Co. The office, established in 1896, was developing its reputation through designs ranging from small cruising yachts to larger sailing vessels and steam yachts. The auxiliary ketch type reflected contemporary maritime practice: sail-powered efficiency combined with the new reliability of auxiliary engines, appealing to both private owners and commercial operators. Mylne's design output during this period demonstrates the practice's versatility and technical competence.
