While one of the submarine vehicles used for touristic purposes to show the wreckage of the Titanic, which crashed into the iceberg and caused the death of 1514 people, disappeared in the Atlantic Ocean, it is not yet known how many tourists were inside the vehicle.
According to the BBC’s report, Boston Coast Guard teams reported that the submarine used for touristic purposes was lost in the Atlantic Ocean.
While the teams are starting to work to find the missing submarine, it is not yet known how many tourists are in the submarine.
Small submarines often offer tourists a diving experience to show the remains of the Titanic, while tourists pay tens of thousands of dollars for it.
THE SHIP WAS INSIDE THE NORTH ATLANTIC WATERS
The luxury cruise liner Titanic, which was claimed to “never sink”, sailed from Southampton, England, on April 10, 1912, with 2,224 passengers and crew, for New York.
The ship sank into the waters of the North Atlantic after hitting an iceberg on April 15, 1912.
More than 1,500 people died in the accident, some of whom froze to death in ice-cold waters. There were only enough lifeboats on board for 1,178 people. Arriving at the crash site a few hours later, the ship Carpathia had rescued 710 people.
The wreckage of the Titanic, the subject of numerous novels and movies, was discovered in 1985 by oceanographer Robert Ballard, 645 kilometers off Newfoundland. During the dives made in 1987-2004, many items were unearthed from the wreck. (AA)
