Rosedale, a 938 gross ton wooden paddle-wheel river passenger steamship, was built 1877 at Norfolk, Virginia. She was chartered by the U.S. Navy in July 1918 and commissioned as USS Rosedale (ID # 3079). For the next eight months, as World War I approached its climax and the post-war era began, the steamer was used for local transport and freight service in the Delaware River area. She was returned to her owner at the end of March 1919.
This page features our only views of the steamship Rosedale, which was USS Rosedale (ID # 3079) in 1918-1919.

Center holds one other photograph of the steamship Rosedale,
probably taken prior to her World War I Navy service. She is
seen from off her starboard bow while tied up in port with no
activity visible on board. |
