Swedish royal schooner yacht Amphion

3D Model

The royal schooner yacht Amphion is based on the Turuma (Turunmaa) archipelago frigate. Designed by F. H. Chapman for the King Gustaf III, it is smaller in all dimensions and only has two masts with a schooner rig. The ship was launched in 1778 in Stockholm. It took heavy damage prior to the Scond Battle of Svensksund in the Battle of Vyborg Bay. The ship had no broadside guns, which made it a much lighter ship than the Turumas, this also means that the ship has different sea going properties than similarly sized warships. The kings cabin and grand room are in the back.

Hull dimensions: • Length at waterline: 31.77 m • Greatest width (breadth): 6.68 m • Greatest depth: 1.85 m
