Royal Caroline Model Ship  was a Royal Yacht built for the use of George II and his wife, Queen Caroline. She was sailed for pleasure cruises by the Royal Family, and as a transport for members of the court sailing between England and Holland.

On the latter occasions, she was accompanied by as many as four frigates, and when the King was on Board, accompanied by the First Lord of the Admiralty, her distinguished captains included Sir William Cornwallis and Sir Hyde Parker.

In 1761, the vessel was renamed Charlotte (later Royal Charlotte) for George’s III Princess Sophie Charlotte.
