Historical Context
Design 248 was developed by A. Mylne & Co. in 1918, during a period when the firm was increasingly engaged with motor yacht design. The twin-screw motor yacht type gained prominence in the early twentieth century as diesel and petrol engines became more reliable and efficient. A. Mylne & Co., established in 1896, maintained a reputation for sound, practical yacht design across sail and power, and their willingness to work with builders beyond British yards—such as Nova Scotia Steel & Coal Co.—reflected the firm's growing international clientele. Sea-King II's construction in Canada suggests patronage from a North American owner, indicative of the firm's commercial reach between 1918 and the 1930s.
