Radio Caroline 


The DJ's on Caroline took their shore leave in Holland and Dutch boats carried their supplies and records to the ship.

In late 1967, offshore pirate radio stations were officially banned (the banning coincided with the launch of Radio One by the BBC) but Caroline continued to broadcast. 

Their continued broadcasting was an embarrassment to the Labour government which had vowed to sink the pirates.
