Surely its fate isn't 'unknown' as it is likely that there are records somewhere (in contemporary newspapers, naval, military and/or office records, diaries, letters, photographs, cinefilms etc etc) that detail its fate and so its fate is known - it's just that the researchers haven't found these records yet? Surely it would be more appropriate to say 'its fate has not yet and possibly may never be discovered/discerned?'
