MARQUETTE — The Marquette Regional History Center will host a presentation titled “He Went Down with His Ship: Captain Burke and the Steamer Arlington” at 6:30 p.m. Eastern time Wednesday, March 5, at the center.

Scuba diver and historian Dan Fountain will take attendees on the voyage of the Arlington. In the summer of 2023, a group of shipwreck hunters set out for the middle of Lake Superior in search of a shipwreck.

They succeeded in finding an intact steel steamer in deep water, but what was it? Subsequent ROV dives to the wreck revealed its unexpected identity, and further research revealed that the wreck had tales to tell of rescue by a nearby freighter, the first trip on the lake for two young deckhands, and the veteran captain who wouldn’t (or couldn’t?) abandon ship and went down to a watery grave.

There is a $5 suggested donation.
