1940 shipwreck discovered in Lake Superior
After a relentless 10-year search, a steamship from the World War II era, the SS Arlington, which sank in a severe storm in 1940 along with its captain, has been located at the bottom of Lake Superior.
Resting 650 feet below the surface, approximately 35 miles north of Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula, the 244-foot vessel remained undiscovered for 74 years until a determined shipwreck hunter persevered in the search.
The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society, in collaboration with researcher Dan Fountain, officially confirmed the discovery in a statement on Monday.
Fountain identified a potential site at the lake’s bottom using remote sensing data and enlisted the society’s assistance.
Last year, the society deployed a sonar device over the suspected location, confirming it as a shipwreck.
Subsequent exploration with underwater drones substantiated that the wreckage was indeed the long-lost SS Arlington, NBC News reported.
