Welsh presenter and adventurer Lowri Morgan has recalled how she felt “emotional” upon venturing down to see the Titanic shipwreck in a Mir Russian submersible in 2003. The 48-year-old, who hails from Gowerton, was speaking to WalesOnline following news that a tourist submersible, Titan, went missing during a similar expedition on Sunday, June 18.
“When the opportunity came I accepted the challenge and was committed to doing the research,” said Lowri, who was a deep-sea diver at the time. She described how at the time the more she learned about the Titanic, which famously sank after striking an iceberg in 1912, the more she was “hooked”.
She added: “The history of that booming era was fascinating. At the time researching the ship became a huge part of my life. More people have been to space than to the depth of where the Titanic is so there was a fascination.”
