MV Craigantlet was a British container ship that ran aground on 26 February 1982 at Killantringan Lighthouse in Portamaggie Bay, Wigtownshire in southwestern Scotland. The 800 ton cargo ship was bound to Liverpool from Belfast at the time. The lighthouse keeper raised the alarm, and Craigantlet's crew was rescued via airlift by a Sea King from 829 Squadron based at the stone frigate HMS Gannet at Glasgow Prestwick International Airport.
