Annie Larsen

Annie Larsen

The "Annie Larsen" was a schooner that was involved in arms shipment in the Hindu German Conspiracy during World War I.

The ship came into the spotlight when it was seized on 25 June 1915 by US customs officials at Grays Harbour and found to be carrying large quantities of small arms and ammunitions in violation of the Neutrality Acts. The arms were meant to be transferred to the SS "Maverick" at a rendezvous off the coast of Mexico. The "Annie Larsen" affair was one of the major setbacks of the failed Hindu German Conspiracy, and was one of the major charges in the trial that was at the time one of the largest and most expensive in American legal history.
