The OceanGate company is a privately owned US firm that provides crewed submersibles for tourism, industry, research, and exploration.
The company hosted a “Titanic Expedition”, which is an excursion into the historic site of the Titanic boat which sank in April 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean four days after her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City.
However, the United State Coast Guard of Boston on June 19 announced that a submersible carrying passengers to the underwater site of the sunken Titanic ship had gone missing.
According to their website, explorations of the Titanic began in the summer of 2023 and had a total of 18 dives planned.
The company also disclosed the fee for securing a seat on the vessel.
