RADIO CAROLINE
Radio Caroline is probably the most famous of all the offshore
“pirate” radio stations, and her story has become something of a
broadcasting legend.
These pages from Offshore Echo’s look at the history of the famous
offshore station, through the 1960’s - from the start of Caroline &
Atlanta and their merger, the 1967 Marine Offences Act, and the
fateful day in March 1968 when both Caroline ships were seized and
forced off the air.
The story continues into the 1970's, with Caroline's brief revival
via Radio Northsea, and her return from the Mi Amigo in 1972 off the
Dutch coast. The latest episode continues with Caroline back off the
English coast, and a darker period of Government attention and a
boarding by UK officials.
Future parts of the Caroline story will continue to cover the
1970’s, and then to the 80’s.
