Caroline was built at Cochin, British India, in 1825. She made one voyage transporting convicts from Ireland to Australia. She was last listed in 1851.
Design
Caroline was built by John Crookenden and was registered at Calcutta on 21 November 1825. She was built of teak, was sheathed in yellow metal, and had two decks. She had three masts and was square rigged. She carried six guns and had a crew of 22 men.
Career
Under the command of James Fewson, she left St Katharine Docks, London on 2 June 1829, stopping at Worthing, Sussex on 4 June to load additional cargo. She left on 6 June and after stopping over at Rio de Janeiro, arrived at the Swan River Colony on 12 October.
On her only convict voyage, under the command of Alexander Macdonald and surgeon George Birnie, she departed Cork, Ireland on 15 April 1833 and arrived in Sydney on 6 August.[4] She embarked 120 female convicts, none of whom died en route.[5]
Fate
Caroline was listed in 1850 on a voyage from London to Port Phillip. She was last listed in 1851 but without a port or a voyage.
