A submersible vessel used to take tourists to view the wreck of the Titanic is currently missing.
The five person sub named Titan, owned by OceanGate Expeditions, submerged on a dive to the wreckage site on Sunday morning. The trip often spans multiple days, costing $250,000 (around £195,250) per person.
However, the crew lost contact with the ship around one hour and 45 minutes later, the US Coast Guard has confirmed. The submersible was lost in an area around 900 miles east of Cape Cod in the North Atlantic Ocean, in waters around 13,000 feet deep. The Boston Coastguard has said a search and rescue mission continues in a bid to find the sub before it runs out of air, with Government agencies, US and Canadian navies as well as commercial deep-sea experts joining efforts to help locate the vessel.
