On June 19, news outlets announced that a 21-foot submarine dubbed Titan – owned by OceanGate Expeditions – submerged on its way to the Titanic wreckage last Sunday morning. Unfortunately, the Polar Prince research ship's crew lost contact with the submersible an hour and 45 minutes later. It was carrying five passengers (two of whom were billionaires) who paid $250,000 for the voyage. The CEO of OceanGate, Stockton Rush, was also on board.
