ROYAL CAROLINE model

Royal Caroline was a royal yacht built for the use of king George II and his wife, queen Caroline. She was sailed for pleasure by the royal family, and as a transport for members of court sailing between England and Holland.

Royal Caroline was always escorted by as many as four frigates. When the King was aboard, the First Lord of the Admiralty must be onboard.

At the time of her launched in 1750, the Royal Caroline was the most sumptuously decorated vessels of all time. She not only was the most splendid ship ever built by England but also represented an important stage in the refinement of British shipbuilding. The Admiralty used her as the prototype for a long series of frigates of various classes between 1750 and 1800.

Royal Caroline continued to be used for official occasions during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, with King George III making frequent trips in his yachts to welcome returning fleets and to conduct fleet reviews.

Royal Caroline was succeeded as the principal royal yacht by the slightly larger HMY Royal Sovereign in 1804. She was finally broken up in July 1820.
