Peregrine is a small skipjack built circa 1972 and donated to the Richardson Maritime Museum in Cambridge. Once restoration is complete, the museum's plans for exhibiting her either on the water or on land are as yet undecided.
Peregrine was built circa 1972 in Cambridge, Maryland, by Jim Brighton. He was working at James B. "Mr. Jim" Richardson's boatyard at the time and said it was the first boat he was given by Mr. Jim to build on his own. He built the single-masted day sailer with a tiller helm as a recreational vessel for a lawyer from Atlantic City.
From there, her history is sketchy, but she is reported to have spent time on the western shore of southern Maryland. At some point, she was bought by a waterman, Billy Scherbo, who reconfigured her into a workboat. But her small size eventually proved to be too much of a drawback, and he sold her to Craig Haynie of Deale, Maryland.
Haynie turned her back into a pleasure craft and owned her for 10–15 years before donating her to the Richardson Maritime Museum in 2025.
Haynie had done substantial restoration of Peregrine prior to the donation, and the museum intends to finish it at its Ruark Boatworks. Its plans for the boat were uncertain at the time of the donation, whether it would be exhibited on the water or on land.
