The US Coast Guard says it is doing all it can to locate a submersible vessel that went missing off the eastern coast of Canada and the United States during an expedition to visit the wreckage of the Titanic.

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) first reported on Monday morning that a search and rescue operation was launched off the coast of Canada’s Newfoundland.
