Agnes, a wooden brigantine, was constructed in 1849 at Point Brenley, Nova Scotia. Initially registered in Pictou, Nova Scotia, and later acquired by owners in Sydney. Tragically, Agnes met her demise on the evening of 10 March 1877. She sank on the north side of the Wollongong breakwater while attempting to enter the harbor in New South Wales, Australia. An abrupt shift in the wind's direction led to this sad catastrophe.[1][2]
