The three masted wooden schooner barge, Annabell Wilson (built in 1887 in MI), carrying a load of 1,000 tons of coal was being towed from Erie, PA to Port Colboure when a storm forced them to find a safe harbor at Dunkirk, NY. Before the tow could reach the harbor the schooner foundered. The wreck is now scattered about the area where she sank near the Dunkirk Lighthouse.
The anchor was recovered from the wreck site in 1993 and placed on display near the Dunkirk Lighthouse at Point Gratiot.
