A search-and-rescue mission was underway Monday after a submersible used for tourist expeditions to view the wreck of the Titanic went missing in the North Atlantic, according to media reports.
The BBC reported that the Boston Coast Guard is conducting a search-and-rescue mission for the sub off the coast of Newfoundland, an eastern province in Canada.
The Guardian reported that the Coast Guard confirmed "a small submarine with five people onboard had gone missing in the vicinity of the Titanic wreck." The media outlet reported that the sub is operated by OceanGate Expeditions, a company that offers visits to the Titanic wreck.
