The ship ran aground on the Barber Sand, in the North Sea off the coast of Norfolk. She was refloated but found to be leaking and was consequently beached at Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Mary Ann was on a voyage from Great Yarmouth to Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland.[2]
The ship was driven ashore and wrecked in mid-June. She was set afire to salvage ironwork.[24]
