The schooner Annie Crossfield was one of six three-masted wooden schooners built by the Carrickfergus shipbuilder Paul Rodgers for Barrow shipowners James Fisher & Son. She was launched in September 1883.
A charter-party for the Annie Crossfield from July 1891 is reproduced in the book "The Schooner" by David R.McGregor. It shows that her master was Capt. William Jones, and that he had agreed to load 190 tons of coal at 4 shillings and tuppence per ton, at Ardrossan for Charlestown, Cornwall.
The Annie Crossfield was run down in the Irish Sea on the
24th January 1906. She was bound from Connah's Quay to Belfast with a cargo
of tiles, and collided with the steamer Dundalk eight miles South
of the Calf of Man. The master was Capt. Roberts and there were three other
crew aboard.
