Historical Context
A. Mylne & Co.'s output during the late 1940s and early 1950s encompassed a range of motor and sailing yachts, from small cruising craft to larger auxiliary motor vessels. Design 416, conceived in 1949, arrived as post-war British yacht design was reasserting itself after six years of wartime cessation. The firm, established in 1896, had survived the Second World War and was responding to renewed civilian demand for modest cruising craft. Single-screw motor yachts of under 30 feet were a staple of the British small-boat building industry, serving both private owners and commercial operators. Bute Slip Dock's construction of Thelmarie places her within a tradition of Clyde-based small-craft building that served Scottish and wider British markets throughout the twentieth century.
