Historical Context

Design 166 dates to 1909, a year within A. Mylne & Co.'s first decade of operation. The firm, founded in 1896 by Alfred Mylne in Glasgow, rapidly established itself as a leading yacht design office serving both British and international patrons. The construction of Hermes in Argentina by Martinez demonstrates the firm's commercial reach beyond home waters during this formative period. Early Mylne designs such as this reflected the practical, seaworthy principles that would characterise the office's output throughout its history.
