Swedish King´s Yacht "Amphion"
Designed and built as a fast vessel for the use of king Gustav III of Sweden, she was also used in naval battles such as the victorious Battle of Svenskund against the Russians. Launched in 1778, she was built to a design of Frederik Chapman in the Djurgarden shipyard in Stockholm. Chapman was the first naval architect to codify the design of the hull on the basis of precise mathematical ratios, rather than relying exclusively on empirical methods common at that time. The ship was schooner-rigged and this, together with the tapered line of the hull, gave her exceptional sailing qualities.
