Esturia was a 2,143 gross register ton oiler built by Armstrong Whitworth and Company at Walker in 1910. She operated as an oil tanker for the Burmah Oil Company before the Royal Australian Navy chartered her on 11 September 1914, during the First World War, as an oiler and stores ship. She served as destroyer depot ship for the destroyers HMAS Swan, Huon and Torrens in Australian and Malayan waters, and after being dispatched with them to Port Said she was transferred to the Admiralty. She was sold in 1918 to Shell Tankers UK, and in 1928 to the Greek company Mavris Brothers of Piraeus, who renamed her Loukia. She was lost on 4 March 1937 after hitting a mine off Cape San Sebastian during the Spanish Civil War, killing 23 of her 24 crew.
