Historical Context
In 1902, A. Mylne & Co. was establishing itself as a serious design office in Scotland. The early years of the twentieth century saw a transition in yacht design philosophy, with steam propulsion gradually supplementing and, in some cases, replacing pure sail. Mylne's practice encompassed both categories, and the specification of Snowflake as a steam yacht reflects the preferences of a particular client or market segment. The design office would continue this dual focus throughout its long operational life, producing everything from small cruisers to substantial yachts, though sailing vessels would remain prominent in the Mylne portfolio.
