Historical Context
Design 54 was drawn during the first decade of A. Mylne & Co.'s practice as yacht designers. The firm, established in 1896 in Glasgow, rapidly built a reputation for competent and economical designs. The early 1900s saw the office produce a variety of designs for sailing yachts and early motor yachts. Many designs from this period were executed by builders throughout the United Kingdom and abroad; others remain unbuilt or poorly documented. Zitella exemplifies the gaps in historical records that persist for designs from this era, particularly where no comprehensive builder correspondence or launch records have survived.
