Mysterious Disappearance Of The Eilean Mor Lighthouse Keepers Remains Unsolved

A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - On December 26, 1900, something strange and unexplained happened on the largest of the Flannan Islands, Eilean Mor, Scotland.

Three lighthouse keepers disappeared into the night, never to be seen again. Their mysterious disappearance still baffles historians and scientists.

The three lighthouse keepers, Captain Thomas Marshall, James Ducat, and Donald McArthur, vanished on the island without a trace, leaving only speculation behind.

In the remote Outer Hebrides, a small ship was sent to the Flannan Islands. Its destination was the lighthouse at Eilean Mor. Named after St. Flannen, a 6th-century Irish Bishop who later became a saint, the island was completely uninhabited, apart from its lighthouse keepers.

The ship carried supplies and a change of crew, but due to the storm, the change of crew was delayed. When the ship arrived at Eilean Mor, there was no sign of the three lighthouse keepers. Captain James Harvey, who was in charge of the supply ship, blew his horn and sent up a warning flare to attract attention, but there was no response.
