Flannan Islands Lighthouse Keepers Disappearance 1901
Page from The Sphere reporting on the mysterious disappearance of three staff from the Flannan Islands Lighthouse. James Ducat, principal keeper, Thomas Marshall and Donald McArthur all vanished from the lighthouse, and the fact that all ropes in the storehouse had been removed and the crane near the lighthouse broken away led to the theory that the men probably lost their lives in an attempt to secure the crane during a severe gale. Date: 1901

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative page from The Sphere, dated June 19, 1901, reports on the baffling disappearance of three lighthouse keepers from the Flannan Islands, located in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. The missing men were James Ducat, principal keeper, Thomas Marshall, and Donald McArthur. The circumstances surrounding their vanishing act remain shrouded in mystery to this day. The ominous headline "The Flannan Isles Mystery" draws the reader in, as the article describes the isolated nature of the lighthouse and the harsh conditions the keepers endured. The fact that all ropes in the storehouse had been removed and the crane near the lighthouse broken away fueled speculation that the men had lost their lives in an attempt to secure the crane during a severe gale. The article also mentions that a passing ship, the SS Valhalla, had sighted the lighthouse's light burning brightly on the night of December 15, 1900, but when it returned a few days later, the light had gone out and there was no sign of the keepers. The Coastguard launched a search and rescue mission, but no trace of the men was ever found. The Flannan Islands Lighthouse Disappearance remains one of the most intriguing unsolved mysteries in maritime history. Theories abound, from sea monsters to supernatural explanations, but the truth remains elusive. This haunting image serves as a reminder of the brave men who kept the lighthouses burning in treacherous conditions, and the unknown dangers that lay just beyond the reach of civilization.
