The Flannan Isles Lighthouse: Three Keepers Vanished Into the Atlantic

In December 1900, three lighthouse keepers disappeared from a remote island in Scotland's Outer Hebrides. When the relief ship arrived at the Flannan Isles, the lighthouse was empty. The men were gone. No bodies were ever recovered. James Ducat, Thomas Marshall, and Donald McArthur had been responsible for maintaining the lighthouse on Eilean Mòr. Their disappearance became one of Britain's most enduring maritime mysteries. What happened on that isolated island? Why was the lighthouse left unattended? And what did the official investigation conclude? In this episode of Hidden Logs, we examine the historical records, the investigation, the physical evidence, and the theories surrounding the disappearance. We separate documented facts from later folklore to understand what may have happened to the three missing keepers. The mystery remains unresolved.
