OceanGate Expeditions, the company associated with the submarine involved in the recent Titanic tragedy, has announced the commencement of advertisements for trips to the Titanic wreck site for 2024. The company has scheduled two separate weeks for the expeditions, from June 12-20 and June 21-29, with a fee of Rs 2.03 crore per person. A submersible drive, private quarters, adventure equipment, all meals onboard, and necessary training are all included in the expedition package.
The first-day listing in Newfoundland, Canada, stated, “Arrive in the seaside city of St. John’s to meet your expedition crew and board the vessel that will take you to the wreck of the RMS Titanic,".
The listing added, “You’ll familiarize yourself with life on a working vessel as we begin the 400-nautical-mile journey to the wreck site,".
The second day of the expedition involves sailing through the North Atlantic to reach the dive location. Subsequently, over the following four days aboard the Titan, the participants will engage in the actual mission to explore the wreck, which lies at a depth of 12,500 feet.
Notably, the website also listed Paul-Henri Nargeolet, a 77-year-old Titanic expert from France, as one of the "content experts" involved in the expeditions. However, Nargeolet was among the five individuals who tragically lost their lives in the recent incident.
The website said, “PH Nargeolet is a renowned Titanic expert, having led six expeditions to the Titanic wreck site and lectured at numerous Titanic exhibitions around the world. He's known as "Titanic’s Greatest Explorer,".
Recently, presumed human remains were recovered from the wreckage of the Titan sub, as reported by the US Coast Guard. The recovery operation, marked by numerous challenges, concluded with the offloading of mangled debris from the small submersible in eastern Canada. A debris field was discovered on the seafloor, situated 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic, which rests more than two miles below the ocean's surface, approximately 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland.
