Radio Caroline is unique in that she was the first English language all-day offshore station to broadcast from an anchorage off the British coast.
Caroline was not the first offshore station; there had previously been offshore radio ships anchored off the coasts of Scandinavia in the late 50s and early 60s, and since 1960 Radio Veronica[?] had been broadcasting successfully to the Netherlands from a ship located off the Dutch coast.
