"Discovery of 1940 Shipwreck in Lake Superior"

The wreckage of the 244-foot merchant ship Arlington, which sank in 1940, has been discovered in Lake Superior by the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society and researcher Dan Fountain. The ship, loaded with wheat, sank in a storm, with the crew abandoning ship and the captain going down with it. This discovery adds to recent shipwreck findings in the Great Lakes, including a possible wreck in Lake Erie and the 150-year-old George L. Newman found in Lake Michigan.
