The King's yacht Royal Caroline was the basis for design of HMS Stork.

  • Reviewed: Eastern salient of Java
  • Comment: Probably the only interesting feature of this vessel, which had a short and inglorious career in the British and French Navies in the 1750s. The royal yachts were an uncommon template for a ship designed for active service. As a piece of OR (and therefore not included in the article), the copying of design in this case perhaps reflected the inexperience of the Surveyor, who had never designed a Navy vessel before.
