A submarine used to take tourists to view a wreck of the Titanic has gone missing in the Atlantic Ocean.
A search and rescue mission is currently underway, the BBC reports. It’s currently unknown if there were any people on board the submarine at the time.
Paying tourists can take trips in small submarines to see the sunken wreck of the Titanic.
The famous wreck, which sits 12,500ft below the surface of the Atlantic, is around 370 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
After its discovery in 1985, the wreck has been extensively explored by divers and submarine crews.
Last year, it was reported that one such excursion run by OceanGate cost a group of guests $250,000 to take the submersible 2.4 miles down to where the wreckage lays on the seabed.
Last year’s mission was 10 days long, with eight of those days at sea, a tourist brochure read. Each mission has just six people on board, known as “mission specialists”.
Earlier this year, the company said it planned an expedition to the wreck for Summer 2023, which would further document the Titanic and its “rate of decay”.
Their mission plan reads: “Given the massive scale of the wreck and the debris field, multiple missions performed over several years will be required to fully document and model the wreck site.
