Caroline was launched in 1799, or 1800, at Ipswich. She had an unusually long service life of almost 60 years. She spent the first 40 years or so as a West Indiaman. She then spent the remainder of her career trading more widely, particularly with Quebec. She was last listed in 1864 with minimal data unchanged since 1859.
