Zakota Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 There may be a bit of confusion here, due to the fact that there were in fact several commissioned vessels named peregrine built around the same time. The first three photos look like the same vessel, but the two latter, with their larger gun-count make me wonder if they're not in fact the Peregrine Galley, built sometime around 1700 and converted to a royal yacht, the Royal Caroline in roughly 1720... I could be wrong however. Regardless they are both lovely ships!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niagara_1812 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 What a beautiful ship! I like it even more than the Rattlesnake, I hope this ship makes it into the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad_Dan_Eccles Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I'm very late in answering this post as i ahve only just found this forum while Googling for something else entirely "Peregrine" AKA the "Peregrine Galley" is discussed in some detail in Howard I Chapelle's book "The Search for Speed Under Sail"; she was extensively modified over the years, one of which rebuilds (from memory) included lengthening by inserting a parallel body section amidships. This, I think, will explain the differences in appearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikard Frederiksen Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) How did I miss this thread the first time round? It would be nice to have another early-C18 ship for variety, and this one is rather a looker! I'd happily roam the seas sailing it.
