The *William Castle* was a 20th-century steam trawler, built in 1928, that wrecked in Salt Pans Bay, North Channel. It was lost without loss of life, and though the cargo was likely trawling gear and fishing supplies, the wreck remains a notable example of early 20th-century fishing industry infrastructure in the North Channel.
