Missing Titanic Tourist Submersible: Searching For The Lost Titan Submersible

The Titan is a research and survey submersible that can carry five people, usually a pilot and four "mission specialists" who can include archaeologists, marine biologists or anyone who can afford the experience as a tourist.Made of "titanium and filament wound carbon fibre", the 6.7-metre (22ft) craft weighs 10,432kg (23,000lbs), equivalent to about six average-size cars, and is capable of diving to depths of 4,000 metres (13,120ft) "with a comfortable safety margin", according to operator OceanGate. It uses four electric thrusters to move around, and has a battery of cameras, lights and scanners to explore its environment. OceanGate says Titan's viewport is "the largest of any deep diving submersible" and that its technology provides an "unrivalled view" of the deep ocean.
