Yep, that's a periauger. They needn't have gone to so much trouble researching; per my 1980 reprint of The Compleat Cruiser (pp. 296-297) the periauger Periwinkle home-ported in Newport, RI in 1900. There are also lines for a West Island boat, another periauger. Can't give you the page numbers in the original edition, which my father has, but it's certainly well worth any Ransomite's attention. ABE Books has several editions listed.
