Swedish Catamaran Warship from 1790
The “Ghostship” King Gustav III´s Catamaran
I am sorry there is no English translation. Google Translate is not good att translating old Swedish language from 1790. This is only a small part of the text:
In 1790 tried a Scot named Patrick Miller sell a ship project to the Swedish king Gustav III. The ship was amazing both in size and design and was called Sea Ghost, or The Sea Ghost. This ship was never built, however, a smaller version on the same principle with the name Experiment of Leith.
Sea Ghost and Experiment of Leith has been previously published, but they are strange little publicized. Sources also argues that the experiments of Leith broken up or sank in St Petersburg, but it has now turned out that she was sunk in the middle of Stockholm!
There seems to be a long multihull-history in sweden.
Cheers,
Johannes
