CAROLINE S er bygget på H.C. Christensens Staalskibsværft, hvor der i alt blev bygget 23 Carolinere. Typen, der lastede 240 tons, var tænkt som afløserne for de aldrende skonnerter og galeaser samt, ofte gamle tyske eller hollandske stålskibe, der dannede kernen i den danske indenrigsflåde i 30erne og 40erne. Der var aptering til skipper, styrmand, bedstemand, matros, ungmand og dæksdreng.

CAROLINE S kom i risiko for at måtte stryge Dannebrog, men en gruppe søfartsinteresserede, der kunne se den overordnede die med at bevare et sådant skib og holde det i drift i privat regi, dannede foreningen Caroline S.
