A vessel went missing on Sunday morning as it descended to see the wreckage of the Titanic. Its oxygen supply could run out on Thursday morning. Here’s what we know about the missing submersible and who was on board so far.
The United States Coast Guard reported midday Thursday that a debris field has been spotted in the search area for the small underwater vessel that went missing on Sunday morning as it was descending to see the wreckage of the Titanic.
When did the vessel go missing? The vessel, named Titan, was launched from a hired Canadian research icebreaker, Polar Prince, on Sunday morning. The dives were part of an eight-day, seven-night package. One of the passengers was British businessman Hamish Harding, according to Action Aviation, where Harding serves as chairman. Harding holds three Guinness World Records and flew on a 2022 Blue Origin flight to space.
Nargeolet’s presence on the vessel was first reported by David Gallo, a senior adviser for strategic initiatives and special projects at RMS Titanic.How much did the trip cost? This OceanGate Expedition costs $250,000 per person, according to an archived version of the company’s website, not including the cost of personal travel. No diving experience is necessary to book the trip, the website said, but it’s “helpful to have a sturdy pair of sea legs.
How deep is the Titanic wreckage? When the Titanic infamously sank after hitting an iceberg during its 1912 maiden voyage, roughly 1,500 people died. The remnants of the massive ship are about 2.4 miles below the surface. Unlike submarines that leave and return to port under their own power, submersibles require a ship to launch and recover them. OceanGate hired Canadian research icebreaker Polar Prince as a support vessel for the expedition.
