A submarine that was used to take tourists to see the wreck of the Titanic has gone missing in the Atlantic Ocean.

Tourists can pay a large amount of money to go on trips in small submarines to view the sunken Titanic wreckage, which is located about 3,800 meters below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, around 600 kilometers off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
Each trip has six people on board, known as "mission specialists." The company had planned an expedition for the summer of 2023 to further study and document the Titanic wreck and its condition over time.
