Annie Falconer departed from Kingston on her maiden voyage on May 17th, destination Toronto. Her cargo was 25 tons of stone. During her lifetime she carried a wide range of cargoes: stone, lumber, shingles, staves, salt, ice, wheat and barley, corn, coal and chemical ore. A trip was more productive if a cargo could be arranged for both directions. The Falconer frequently carried grain or lumber products to American ports and returned with coal to Canadian cities.
Built in 1867, this two masted schooner foundered between False Duck Timber Islands and sank on Nov. 12, 1904. 110'x24'x9', she lies in about 80' of water on a mud bottom. The stern, broken off, lies close to the main hull which itself is beginning to show signs of her age. Much of her equipment can be found with the wreck eg. deadeyes, anchors, wheel, blocks, chain etc.
