The Coast Guard is still searching for the small vessel that went missing on Sunday morning as it was descending to see the wreckage of the Titanic. The expedition costs $250,000 per person and goes to about 2.4 miles (about 12,000 feet) below the surface:
The United States Coast Guard is still searching for the small underwater vessel that went missing on Sunday morning as it was descending to see the wreckage of the Titanic. But rescuers have detected underwater noises in the search area, which offered some hope that the five people aboard the missing submersible are still alive.
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 This OceanGate Expedition costs $250,000 per person, according to an archived version of the company’s website, not including the cost of personal travel.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. Assuming the submersible stays under water, the oxygen supply would run out on Thursday morning, according to Concannon’s projections.
