Swallow was built in 1919 which makes her one of the first boats of her class built. In 1986 she received a Major refit which was done by Frank McCaffery of Narragansett Shipwrights and Jim Titus of Mt. Hope Boat works.

In the fall of 2019 she was purchased by Joe Loughborough of LMI who was instrumental in the restoration of the world famous yachts Santana and Dorade.
