S.S. Rose Standish (American Coastal Passenger Steamship, 1912)

Rose Standish, a 993 gross ton steel-hulled paddle steamship, was built in 1912 at Wilmington, Delaware, for employment as a coastal passenger vessel. She was operated in New England waters by the Nantasket Beach Steamboat Company of Boston, Massachusetts, until the later 1920s or early 1930s.

This page features the only view we have concerning the steamer Rose Standish of 1912.
