HMS Peregrine Galley (1700)

HMS Peregrine Galley was a 20-gun sixth-rate ship of the Royal Navy, built in 1699-1700 at Sheerness Dockyard by Master Shipwright William Lee to a design by Rear-Admiral the Marquis of Carmarthen.

She reverted to being a naval sloop under the name HMS Peregrine and served until her loss on or about 28 December 1761.

She was initially commissioned in February 1701 under the command of her designer, Rear-Admiral the Marquis of Carmarthen.

She conveyed the new King of the United Kingdom, the Hanoverian George I from Germany to England in August 1714.

Following her decommissioning, she was then converted into a permanent Royal yacht and renamed HMS Carolina by Order of 29 May 1716.
