The *Agate* was a 20th-century steamship lost in 1940 at Lossit Point, Islay, in the Atlantic. It sank during World War II, likely due to enemy action or storm damage, though no details of lives or cargo lost are recorded; its significance lies in contributing to the maritime history of Scottish coastal waters during the war.
