The schooner Annie Mulvey, built in 1867 at St. Catharines, was involved in a fire on August 3, 1885, in Toronto. The vessel was burned in the Esplanade fire, but it was scuttled to save the cargo of coal it was carrying. The schooner settled in Rogers & Co., the dock for whom the coal was intended.
In 1886, tenders were called for by Harbor Master Morgan Baldwin to remove the ship. It was eventually removed from the location. The Annie Mulvey had a registered tonnage of 295 tons and measured 123.5 feet in length, 25.5 feet in width, and 11 feet in depth. It was owned by Wm. Hall of Toronto.
According to the Canada Shipping Register in 1886, the Annie Mulvey was listed as a schooner with a tonnage of 309 tons. However, it was reported as a total loss due to the fire, resulting in a loss valued at $6,500. The vessel was carrying a cargo of coal at the time of the incident.
These details can be found in the Sessional Papers of 1887 and the Total Losses on the Lakes report of 1885, as reported in the Cleveland Leader newspaper on December 7, 1885.
