English: A World War II-era steamship that sank along with its captain in a strong storm in 1940 has been found at the bottom of Lake Superior after a 10-year search.
The 244-foot SS Arlington was lying under 650 feet of water around 35 miles north of Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula for 84 years. It was found only after a dogged shipwreck hunter kept up the painstaking hunt.
