Rosevear ((コーンウォール語:Ros Veur), ''great promontory'') is a small uninhabited island in the Isles of Scilly, and part of the group of Western Rocks. The island is a haven for seabirds and seals.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=http://encyclopedia.farlex.com/Rosevear )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rosevear entry on geograph.co.uk )〕 It is possible for boats to land on Rosevear, although this is dependent on unreliable natural harbours,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='Commodore fails to mount Bishop' article )〕 and there are no regular trips run for tourists. The island was the site of a temporary worker's settlement during the building of the Bishop Rock lighthouse〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=http://www.twelveheads.com/t697.htm )〕 and the remains of workers' cottages and a smithy are still on the island. The island became infamous because of the number of shipwrecks in the area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=http://www.scubatravel.co.uk/rosevear.html )〕 The ghost of opera singer Ann Cargill, who died when the British East India Company packet ship '' Nancy'' was shipwrecked on Rosevear in 1784, is said to haunt the island. Her body was originally buried on Rosevear, although it was later moved to Old Town Church on St. Mary's.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=http://www.colossus-scilly.co.uk/ghostsofrosevear/divingonscilly.htm )〕 A ship's funnel lies amongst the rocks of Rosevear; this comes from the ''Cité de Verdun'', which was wrecked on Rosevear in 1925.〔Glynis Cooper, ''Rosevear: A Desert Island Story'', Historic Occasions, 2002. p4.
