On June 20, 2025, the Richardson Maritime Museum welcomed the Peregrine to its facilities in Cambridge. This single-masted day sailor skipjack was built at James B. Richardson’s boatyard around 1972 by his son-in-law, Jim Brighton.
Originally intended for pleasure sailing on the Atlantic Ocean, it spent decades away, including on the Western Shore of Southern Maryland, and it was even reconfigured into a workboat. The Peregrine has now been donated by Craig Haynie of Deale to the Richardson Museum, where it will undergo reconstruction.
The event on June 20th featured appearances by Brighton, Haynie, and Robert “Bunny” Joyce, the latter of whom did the early renovations on the skipjack.
The video is approximately six minutes in length.
