About HMS Caroline
HMS Caroline is a historic light cruiser of the British Royal Navy that has been open to the public as a museum ship in Belfast's Alexandra Dock since 2016. The ship entered service in 1914 and took part in the Battle of Jutland during World War I, before serving as a training ship in Belfast from 1924. As the last surviving warship from that battle and once the third-oldest active ship in any navy worldwide, it holds special historical significance. You can explore the ship both from the outside and the inside, gaining insight into the maritime history of the early 20th century.
