Charles Rosner (1894-1975, Germany/United States) was a German-born American marine painter and watercolorist specializing in historic sailing ships and maritime subjects. After serving as a sailor aboard clipper ships and making several voyages around Cape Horn, he eventually settled in New York, where he devoted himself to painting.
