Built 1898 by A & J. Inglis, Glasgow, as the "Vulture" for Burns & Laird's Ardrossan to Belfast run. In 1929 she was re-named as "Lairdstock". In 1937 she was finally re-named "Lochgarry" after purchase by David McBrayne Ltd. She was converted to a Government Transport ship and had previously been involved in Dunkirk evacuation.
While on a trip from Glasgow to Oban to collect a group of soldiers bound for the Faroes she struck rocks off the Mull of Kintyre. Drifting and crippled, she finally went down off the East coast of Rathlin Island. Twenty-three men drowned when their life-boat was dashed against the rocks north of Doon Bay. Thirty-two survived.
