| Description | Flannan Islands Lighthouse Keepers Disappearance 1901 |
| Details |
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.
