Titanic history buffs with US$105,000 to spare may be interested in an expedition that takes guests to the depths of the earth's oceans and to the watery grave of history's most famous ship wreckage
After a false start last year caused by testing delays, the Titanic Survey Expedition will launch this summer, giving guests a rare opportunity to explore the remains of the fabled Titanic which sank in the North Atlantic Ocean just four days into its maiden voyage in 1912.
The expedition starts in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada where guests board a support ship that sails to the wreckage site.
Upon arrival at the site, guests will board the Titan, a five-person manned submersible capable of reaching depths of up to 4,000m developed by OceanGate.
After a 90-minute deep-dive to the ocean floor, the submersible will explore the site for three hours, gliding over the ship deck, shining the spotlight on the iconic grand staircase, the bridge, and the massive debris field, where relics of the ocean liner have remained undisturbed for more than a century.
