Roncador Cay is a small island of the Roncador Bank, located in the west Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Central America, 150 kilometres (93 miles) east-northeast of Providencia Island.

On 2 February 1894, 3 days after departing Haiti, the USS Kearsarge struck the reef and sank.

US Congress appropriated $45,000 to return the ship, but her wreck was deemed beyond repair by the Boston Towboat Company and left on the reef.

The United States retained the right of free passage and use of these waters, for its nationals and vessels.
