She was lost in 1801 on her second slave-trading voyage after she had delivered her slaves to Kingston, Jamaica.
*{{ship||Caroline|1800 ship}}  was launched in 1799 or 1800 at Ipswich. 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.

*{{ship||Caroline|1804 Shoreham ship}}  was a merchant vessel launched at Shoreham as a [[West Indiaman]].
