"Long-lost WWII Shipwreck Found in Lake Superior Depths"
Shipwreck hunters have discovered the WWII-era merchant ship Arlington, which sank in Lake Superior 84 years ago during a storm. The 244-foot bulk carrier was found buried beneath 650 feet of water north of Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. The ship was carrying wheat from Port Arthur, Ontario, to Owen Sound when it sank in May 1940. The crew survived, except for the captain, Frederick 'Tatey Bug' Burke, whose behavior remains a mystery. The discovery was made by the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society, and researcher Dan Fountain hopes it will bring closure to the captain's descendants.
