Experiment of Leith
''Experiment of Leith'' was a catamaran engineered by the Scottish banker Patrick Miller to be used by the Swedish fleet in the Russo-Swedish War (1788-90). By the time the ship reached Stockholm the war was, however, already over.〔"(Gustav III:s mystiska katamaran )", (Vetenskapsradion Historia ), (Sveriges radio ), 12 December 2013. Retrieved 18 August 2014.〕

The ship had five masts, and the two hulls were each 32 metres long and 3.7 metres wide. In the absence of wind it could be driven by four or five paddlewheels powered by a capstan. Predating the marine implementation of steam power by a few decades〔Fry, Henry (1896): The History of North Atlantic Steam Navigation: With Some Account of Early Ships and Shipowners, Sampson Low, Marston & Co., London, p. 27.〕 the ship was thus powered manually by the crew and was reported to have reached 4.3 knots.〔Marcus Hjulhammar, "(Sjöspöket och Gustav III:s mystiska katamaran )", (Marinarkeobloggen ), Sjöhistoriska museet, 12 December 2013. Retrieved 18 August 2014.〕
''Experiment of Leith'' was anchored to the east of the island of Skeppsholmen in Stockholm where it remained for over four years until it was sunk in 1794 in order to form part of the foundation for a bridge.〔〔("Märkligt fartyg vilar under Strandvägen" ), Johan Lindberg, (Svenska Dagbladet ), 12 December 2013. Retrieved 25 August 2014.〕
The ship was a smaller version of one of Miller's earlier plans for a warship, which had been referred to by Swedish naval architect Fredrik Henrik af Chapman as the "Sea-Spook".〔〔Charles Dawson, "Patrick Miller's 'Sea Spook'", The Mariner's Mirror, Vol. 88, No.1, Feb. 2002, page 95.〕
