Company with 'deadly' submarine still advertising Titanic expedition tour

According to the New York Post , the company announced two programs to explore the Titanic wreck in 2024, specifically from June 12-20 and from June 21-29 at a cost of $250,000 per person.

Price includes one dive, private accommodation, all required training, expedition equipment and meals while on board the dive boat.

Titan submersible takes tourists to the bottom of the ocean to explore the wreck of the Titanic

"Come to the coastal city of St. John's to meet your expedition team and board the ship that will take you to the Titanic," the itinerary states on visitors' first day in Newfoundland, Canada.

"You will get acquainted with life on a working ship as we embark on a 400 nautical mile journey to the wreck site," the ad reads.

On day two, the company says guests will take a trip across the North Atlantic to the dive site, followed by a four-day mission to the wreck, more than 3,800m deep, aboard the Titan.

"An onboard expert will show you the key features of the wreck and life on the ocean floor. Enjoy hours of exploration of the wreck and debris before taking a two-hour cruise to the surface," the blurb adds.

One of the participants in the next expedition is French "Titanic expert" Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, who died in the recent disaster.

"PH Nargeolet is a renowned Titanic expert, having led six expeditions to the wreck of the Titanic and presented at numerous Titanic exhibitions around the world . He has been called 'Titanic's Greatest Explorer,'" OceanGate wrote.

Also killed in the June 18 explosion were OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, 61; British billionaire Hamish Harding, 58; prominent Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48; and his 19-year-old son Sulaiman Dawood.

OceanGate faced intense scrutiny after the disaster for appearing to ignore safety concerns while tourists paid $250,000 each to visit the iconic wreck.

The Titanic wreck has long been a dream destination for many tourists.

The latest announcement from Canadian investigative officials said that some parts of the Titan have been salvaged and brought to the port of Newfoundland, this country. A video from CBC showed a large object, suspected to be the bow of the submersible and other debris wrapped in a white tarp, being pulled ashore on the morning of June 28.

Earlier, the US Coast Guard said they may have found human remains from the wreckage of the Titan submersible and were transferring evidence to the US for examination.

A list of Titanic 2024 expedition programs was still on the OceanGate website as of Thursday morning (US time).
