Rose II was a requisitioned steam trawler lost in 1917 during World War I. It sank in shallow waters off Northern Ireland, remaining upright and largely intact except for a collapsed bow; no details of lives or cargo lost are recorded, but its significance lies in contributing to the wartime naval and fishing vessel losses in the region.
