SS Rosalind was a cargo ship built by Tyne Iron Shipbuilding of Willington Quay and launched in 1879.
In 1907, she was sold to a Swedish operator named N P Shensson and sailed the Baltic Sea until May 1918 when she was sunk by a mine.
[3] The ship was designed to sail on international waters, and is known to have run between Middlesbrough and Bilbao and Copenhagen and Söderhamn.
She was then transferred to A P Harrison & Co.[3] The company subsequently created Rosalind Steamship Co in 1898, and then handed her to Austin Eliot & Co in 1905.
[7] The ship operated as part of Sweden's mercantile fleet during World War I. Rosalind was carrying ballast from Copenhagen to Söderhamn on 21 May 1918 when she struck a mine 35 miles (56 km) southeast of Stockholm and sank.
