Lochgarry was a steam passenger ferry lost in 1942 during World War II. It sank in Irish waters, likely due to enemy action or mine strike, and was found upright and mostly intact at a depth of 23–35m; no lives or cargo loss is specifically recorded, but its wartime loss adds historical significance to the local maritime record.
