Ann Falcon
 Official Number
26594

From The Cumberland Pacquet newspaper, 16th January 1844, page 3 :

"On the 10th instant a handsome new barque was launched from the building-yard of Mr.Alexander, at Workington, called the Ann Falcon, of 260 tons old measurement, built for Captain Bowness, of the Leo, of Liverpool, and intended for the foreign trade."
From the Times newspaper, Saturday, 21st February, 1852, page 7 :
"LONDONDERRY, Feb18.- The Anne Falcon, of Workington, from Limerick for Glasgow, drove ashore on the island of Doagh, near Malin Head, during the gale yesterday, and has gone to pieces ; crew, except one man, saved."
It appears that the Ann Falcon did not "go to pieces" as she appears in the Mercantile Navy List in 1857.
