Washington Augustus Roebling II (March 25, 1881 – April 15, 1912) was an American businessman and early automobile manufacturer who perished in the sinking of RMS Titanic.

The company was moved to an abandoned brewery owned by the Kuser family in Hamilton, New Jersey, outside of Trenton.

[2] In early 1912, he took a long European road trip with his friend and Trenton native, Stephen Weart Blackwell, and chauffeur Frank Stanley in a Mercer Fiat.

While touring Italy and France, Blackwell and Roebling met the Bonnell and Wick families, and decided to join them on their return trip to the United States on the new ocean liner RMS Titanic.

Because of a miscommunication his Roebling cousins traveled to Halifax believing him to be among the survivors picked up by the RMS Carpathia.
