Coral Castle
Ed Leedskalnin sought to escape the pain of being left at the altar by his young bride-to-be by single-handedly quarrying a 28-ton piece of coral, transporting it and building a castle from 1931 until his death in 1951. This Herculean effort was completed without the benefit of heavy equipment, which still amazes scientists, engineers and laymen alike. Just how he moved those rocks still remains unknown.
