The '''''Annie Larsen''''' was a three-masted [[schooner]] that was involved in arms shipment in the so-called "[[Hindu German Conspiracy]]" during [[World War I]].<br />
<br />
''Annie Larsen'' was built by the [[Port Blakely, Bainbridge Island, Washington|Hall Brothers]] in 1881. She was owned by James Tufts, of San Francisco, and later by Olson & Mahony and sailed in the coastwise lumber trade. In 1915, she was chartered to a shipbroker.<ref>{{Cite web<br />

The ship came into the spotlight when it was seized on 25 June 1915 by US customs officials at [[Grays Harbor]] and found to be carrying large quantities of small arms and ammunitions in violation of the [[Neutrality Acts of 1930s|Neutrality Acts]].{{citation needed|date=August 2022}} The arms were meant to be transferred to the [[SS Maverick|SS ''Maverick'']] at a rendezvous off the coast of Mexico. The [[Annie Larsen affair]] was one of the major setbacks to the pro-Indian independence [[Ghadar Party]], and was one of the major charges in the [[Hindu German Conspiracy trial|trial]], one of the largest and most expensive in American legal history.<br />
<br />
In 1918, ''Annie Larsen'' stranded on [[Malden Island]].<ref>{{Cite web<br />
