The Loneliest Place on Earth: The Stannard Rock Tragedy

The Loneliest Place on Earth: The Stannard Rock Tragedy Twenty-five miles from the nearest shore, a stone fortress stands alone against the fury of Lake Superior. In this episode of Lighthouse Detective, we uncover the haunting history of Stannard Rock Lighthouse, notoriously known as "The Loneliest Place on Earth". Built upon a submerged reef discovered in 1835, this engineering marvel was designed to survive 30-foot waves and crushing ice, only to be nearly destroyed from within. On June 18, 1961, the silence of the inland sea was shattered by a massive gasoline explosion. We revisit the harrowing story of four men trapped in a "living furnace," the tragic loss of William Maxwell, and the miraculous survival of three crewmen who waited three days for rescue with almost no food or communication.
