Pitstruan was a requisitioned steam trawler lost in 1917 during World War I, likely in the North Sea. While specific details of its loss, such as the exact date, cause, and number of casualties, are not recorded, it was part of the Scottish fishing fleet converted for naval service, reflecting the widespread use of trawlers for minesweeping and patrol duties during the war.
