Rosalind was a steam cargo liner that was launched in England in 1890 for Dampfschiffs Rhederei zu Hamburg as Tosari. In 1891 Deutsche Ost-Afrika Linie (DOAL) bought her and renamed her Admiral. In 1902 the Bowring Brothers' New York, Newfoundland & Halifax Steamship Company ("Red Cross Line") bought her and renamed her Rosalind. In 1912 the St Laurence Shipping Company bought her and renamed her City of Sydney. She was wrecked off the coast of Nova Scotia in 1914.

She was the first of two DOAL ships that were called Admiral. The second was launched in 1905, seized by Portugal in 1916, and renamed Lourenço Marques.

She was the first of three Bowring Brothers ships that were named Admiral. The second was built in 1913, and sunk by torpedo in 1917. The third was launched in 1911 as Lady Gwendolen, bought and renamed Rosalind in 1919, and sold and renamed in 1928.
