A “search and rescue operation” is being conducted when a submarine on an expedition to the Titanic wreck vanishes. A search and rescue operation were in progress on Monday morning for a submarine that vanished in the North Atlantic while on a trip to explore the Titanic ruins. When questioned about the rescue operations off the coast of Newfoundland, Lt. Jordan Hart of the U.S. Coast Guard in Boston told CBS News that crews were “currently undergoing a search and rescue operation.”
The company declined to disclose the number of individuals aboard the missing vessel or whether any of them were paying visitors, although it does accept paying tourists as passengers on its voyages. However, it is reported that tourists must pay $250,000 to reserve a position on one of OceanGate’s voyages to the Titanic ruins.
A pilot, three paying guests, and what the firm refers to as a “content expert” are often present in the submersible’s five-person seating capacity.
The wreck of the Titanic lies about 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland. Without any cell towers in the middle of the ocean, we are relying on @Starlink to provide the communications we require throughout this year’s 2023 Titanic Expedition.

The expedition’s internet and communications will be provided by Elon Musk’s Starlink, OceanGate revealed earlier in June through Twitter. Whether communications were involved in the submersible going missing is unclear.

In a statement, OceanGate Expeditions, a business that sends out manned submersibles for deep-sea expeditions, confirmed that its sub was the target of the rescue effort and said it was “exploring and mobilizing all options to bring the crew back safely.”
