The citizen explorers, or mission specialists, archaeologists will begin their adventure by sailing on the expedition vessel from St John's in Newfoundland, Canada, to the site of the Titanic wreckage, located 370 miles away.

OceanGate Expeditions will then use its five-manned carbon fiber and titanium Cyclops-class submersible to transport archaeologists and the mission specialists to the wreck the craft takes up to three mission specialists on each dive that lasts from eight to 10 hours.

The Titan submersible is outfitted with the latest camera technologies to capture ultra-high-resolution imagery that will help determine the wreck’s rate of decay and assess the marine life that dwell on the wreck.

P.H. Nargeolet, veteran Nautile submersible pilot and mission specialist of the 2021 expedition, said in a statement: ‘You have a lot of room inside the Titan submersible.

Last year's OceanGate expedition recorded fragments of floor tile and other debris from the luxury liner, along with studied marine life found on this artificial reef and drafted a GIS map of the artifacts also found on the Titanic.

This telemotor was part of the Titanic's steering system.

The Giant RMS Titanic, which was called the unsinkable ship, was lost at 2:30am on April 14, 1912, four days into its voyage from Southampton to New York.

She collided with an iceberg and in the end 1,517 of the 2,224 passengers and crew aboard were left dead.

The ship was discovered on September 1, 1985 resting 12,500ft below the surface of the North Atlantic Ocean lying in two main pieces about 600metres apart (Bow&Stern).


For 73 years, she lay lost and alone in the dark freezing water.

Jeff Bezos kind of hobby, I shall get... adventure.

Go space, visit Titanic under water, go Mars, enter volcanoe, swim inside an active volcano, jump of a plane high above the ground with the ocean as a target - no parachute. etc.

Amen

Ghosts of many people who died in that ship are still trapped there and they want to go and disturb them. They will soon see that thing they are looking for.

;D⁷ I don't understand the reason white men will spend 250k in dollars just to go and see debris of a ship that sank almost 100years ago ,they should just bring out and put it in museum ,instead wasting hard currency..some times some of white man doings that we love to praise and asslick them are just plain stupidity
