Caroline was built at Cochin, British India, in 1825. She sailed to the United Kingdom and took up British registry. She then sailed between England and India under a license from the British East India Company (EIC). She made one voyage transporting convicts from Ireland to Australia. Later, she carried immigrants to Australia. She was wrecked in March 1850.
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.
A ship named Caroline, under the command of Captain Howey, left London on 19 April 1828 and arrived in Sydney on 12 September 1828, carrying a cargo of general merchandise, livestock, and passengers including immigrants.[4][5][6][7] Another source states that the ship sailed from Plymouth, also on 19 April 1828, under the command of Captain Howard.[8]
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. She was carrying some 66 passengers.
