I couldn't receive Radio Caroline clearly in the daytime where I was - in South Kent, but at night the fading became tolerable and only faded when the good bits were on.
I was listening when this ship went down I think. Great station. Actually I happened across this video as I was looking for the artist of a tune or song I'd often hear on Radio Caroline. - I can't remember what it was now so I'll make some tea instead.
I was really upset when this happened I remember it only too well. It was the end of an era as far as I was concerned, but the Caroline Roadshows carried on for a good few years. They were great played great music and god beer. Fantastic times. Does anyone know whatever happened to Harvey the Rabbit?
after the MV Mi-Amigo came the MV Ross Revenge , a more tall ship and more radio-stations in the air: Caroline and Radio Monique ( Dutch station) from the same ship.
This will neveer come back, but in Holland we have on "sea" Radio Waddenzee and Radio Seagull from the lightship Jenny Bayton.
It belonged earlier to the swedish radio pirate out in the Baltic Sea, Radio Nord, from 1961-1:st July 1962 when it was forced to close down forever. She was then named M/S Bon Jour and sailed under Panama or Honduras-flag.
body ,who loved the piratstations,,,wish there was never a law or a goverment ,,what was killing the freedom of people to listen to who they like ,,now they keep us satisfied with people on rtl4 jan de hoop (ex veronica ship)and things like that did we ask for that?????
Radio Caroline may have been a great station in the 60s, but in the 70s, when I was listening to it, it was total shit. Foreigner was as about far out as they would go. Punk passed them by completly. And as for this trite Loving Awareness stuff they were peddling, it made Patiance Strong seem like Descartes.

I was glad when it sank. As the video showed, Chicago was pretty typical of the rubbish they played - blank MOR rock. Jesus, I hated them. A total waste.
What a great piece of Radio history,i heard about this ship and by accident found this video.Like hunkabuggy said,if you were not in England in the 60s you missed alot.I alway was and always will be a big fan of the British invasion Vox amps and all.Living in America you just wanted to board a plane and head to England.Thnx for sharing this great piece of Radio History.
If you weren't in England in the 1960's you missed out on so much musical history. The music itself, Carnaby street,The fashion capital, Mods and Rockers and the great 'Radio Caroline'. Glad I can say "I was there"
Went out a little time before to view on the Waverley,so pleased I travelled from Cheshire and saw what to me was the Queen of Pop Music and always will be...not long after this happened.Don Allen,Mike Ahern,Tony Prince,Gerry Leighton and Ugly Ray Terret...wonderful memories to take me into old age.A great era to grow up in.

Does anyone know: Is the ship still on its place, or has it been removed?
