Titanic tourist submarine


A research submersible visiting the wreckage of the Titanic went missing on June 18, 2023, sparking a frantic search for the vessel and the people on board. The submarine was sent out by OceanGate Expeditions –  a private company that charters trips to explore the debris of the iconic doomed ship for upwards of $250,000.

French submersible pilot Paul-Henry Nargeolet, chief executive and founder of OceanGate Expeditions, Stockton Rush, Pakistani millionaire Shahzada Dawood and his son Sulaiman, and UK businessman Hamish Harding are the passengers on the missing sub.
