To...Lord Anson...This Plate...an Exact View of his Majesty's Ship Intrepid, (late the Serieux, one of six French Men of War, taken the 3d May 1747...) also a Representation of his Majesty King George the IId as going on board his Yacht Carolina...that conveyed him to Holland
Print. The Carolina was launched in 1700 as 20 gun sixth rate, named the Peregrine Galley. Becoming a Royal Yacht, she was then renamed the Carolina in 1716 and the Royal Caroline in 1733. Rebuilt in 1733 and 1747. Some confusion resulting from the many changes of name for this vessel during her career is reflected in the contemporary sources. C.M. Gavin (Royal Yacht p.79) quotes Lord Anson writing in 1748, who gives her name as Royal Carolina instead of Royal Caroline; and it can be seen from the inscription for PAH9600 that the earlier name Carolina remained in use.
