Roscoe Bulmer

Roscoe Carlyle Bulmer (4 November 1874 – 5 August 1919) was an officer in the United States Navy.

Born in Virginia City, Nevada, Bulmer graduated from the Naval Academy in 1894.

His zeal and courage, combined with a sound knowledge of his profession, contributed greatly to the success of the mine force.

Captain Bulmer died at Kirkwall, Scotland.

USS Bulmer (DD-222) was named for him.
