About the Vessel
Royale Caroline was a royal yacht built in 1749 for King George II and his wife, Queen Caroline. It took the Royal family on several cruises, and it was a means of transport for the members of the court between England and Holland. During these cruises, she was accompanied by four frigates. However, when the king was on board, she used to be accompanied by the First Lord of the Admiralty. Sir William Cornwallis and Sir Hyde Parker were among the famous captains who commanded this royal yacht. In 1761, the ship was renamed as Charlotte for the King George III and Princess Sophie-Charlotte.
The Royal Caroline was used for authorized events at the time of French Revolutions and Napoleonic Wars as King George III regularly used to visit in this yacht so that he could welcome the returning fleets and also administer fleet reviews. After the Battle of Camperdown, the King boarded the Royal Charlotte in 1797 to visit the fleet at the Nore to honour the Admiral Adam Duncan. However, the winds stopped the ship from reaching the mouth of Thames, and King was blown back to Greenwich. Royal Charlotte recommissioned in May 1801 under Captain Sir Harry Neale. Royal Caroline continued in service until 1820 as historians believe that it was finally broken up in July 1820.
