TL;DR

The wreckage of the S.S. Arlington, a Canadian ship that sank in Lake Superior in 1940, has been located by researchers, but the mystery of why the captain, Frederick Burke, remained alone on board as his crew escaped during a storm remains unsolved. The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society, which made the discovery, believes that the details of the ship's final moments, including the captain's behavior, may never be fully understood, similar to many other shipwrecks in the Great Lakes.
