Hello Sylvia
We have a page for the Herman Roosen
I do not know who it was named after, but I will try to find out. All I know is that "Rosen" was the name of an aristocratic Nordic family.

In 1801 there was a Roosen family living at Arendal. Head of the family was Herman Procken Roosen (Kammer raad og kjøbmand). This seams to have been a family with naval traditions, as many of his sons were sailors.
In 1842 the Norwegian emigrant ship Washington departed from Larvik on June 3, and arrived at New York July 30. She was carrying a load of iron and 64 passengers, mostly from Telemark. Her captain was Herman Roosen Smith
In 1865 there was a Herman Roosén who was a teacher at the naval academy in Horten

Hei Sylvia
The ship Herman Roosen turns up for the first time in New York in 1852
After the journey with emigrants for Quebec in 1853 she set sail for New York. After loading in N.Y. she returned to Europe and Kingstown, Dublin. She returned from Dublin Nov. 15 and arrived N.Y. January 22, 1854 She spent the winter in New York and returned to Amsterdam with a load of general goods worth 7000 dollar, April 1. This time with a new captain, Olsen
There are no good accounts for 1855 and 1856. But she was in the trade between Norway – England and the Mediterranean these years.
July 3, 1857 she was cleared off Gibraltar from Genoa to Quebec and arrived Qb August 2
The ship Herman Roosen left Quebec September 7 probably with a load of timber onboard. She was abandon at 47º N 14º V in the Bay of Biscay October 25. The captain and crew arrived Falmouth, England on the Russian ship Bernardino, Oct. 29
