Annie Disappears, Later Is Found Sunk, Crew Lost

During the remainder of 1864 Annie continued to serve in the blockade of Florida's gulf coast. On 30 December she departed Key West and headed for Charlotte Harbor for further blockade duty. About a fortnight later, her hulk was found resting on the bottom in about six fathoms of water. She was a total wreck, apparently the victim of an explosion; and no trace of her crew was found!.
