Eerie underwater video shows ship that went down with its captain in Lake Superior in 1940: A "mysterious story"
CBSN
On April 30, 1940, a merchant ship under the command of Captain Frederick "Tatey Bug" Burke sank during a fierce storm in Lake Superior. The crew made it safely to a rescue boat — except for Burke, who went down with his ship.
Now, 84 years later, haunting video shows the recently found wreckage of the doomed ship.
On Monday, the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society (GLSHS) announced the discovery of the 244-foot bulk carrier Arlington in over 600 feet of water about 35 miles off Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The vessel was located by shipwreck researcher Dan Fountain.
