Two Royal English yachts were called Royal Caroline. The first one laid down in the shipyards of Sheerness in 1700, was a boat we know well by the name of Peregrine Galley. After an appropriate adaptation of the work, this ship which been serving in the Royal Navy for a long time, had the honor to be renamed "ROYAL CAROLINE". On the contrary, the second one was directly planned as a royal yacht and was launched in 1749 in the shipyards of Deptford. The old "Royal Caroline" was returned to the British Navy and received back its name of peregrine Galley. She ended her service tragically, sunk with the entire crew in the Bay of Biscay. That was in the year 1761, the same year the 'ROYAL CAROLINE" was renamed Royal Charlotte going on to serve the Royal British family until 1805. It was completely destroyed in 1820.
Les yacht royaux Anglaise auxquels furent donne le nom de "ROYAL CAROLINE" furent deux. Le premier mis en chantier a Sheerness en 1700, fut le bateau que nous connaissons bien sous le nom de peregrine galley.Ce navire qui pendant des longues annees servit dans le Royal Navy , eut l'honneur ( après les travaux d'adaptation) de s'appeler "ROYAL CAROLINE". Le deuxieme au contraire fut directement projete comme yacht royal et fut lancee en 1749 dans les chantiers de Deptford. Le vieux "ROYAL CAROLINE" fut rendu a la marine Anglaise et reprit son nom, mais il finit tragiquement son service, coule avec tous son equipage dans les eaux du golf de Biscaye. C'etait en 1761, la meme annee ou le "ROYAL CAROLINE" fut rebatise Royal Charlotte et a server la famille royal anglaise jusqu'en 1805, pour etre enfin definitivement demoli en 1820.
