Description: OceanGate Inc. is a privately owned U.S. company in Everett, Washington, that provides crewed submersibles for tourism, industry, research, and exploration. The company was founded in 2009 by Stockton Rush and Guillermo Söhnlein. The company acquired a submersible vessel, Antipodes, and later built two of its own: Cyclops 1 and Titan. In 2021, OceanGate began taking paying tourists, in its Titan submersible, to visit the wreck of the Titanic. As of 2022, the price to be a passenger on an OceanGate expedition to the Titanic shipwreck is US$250,000 per person.
Description: Titan was the second submersible designed and built by OceanGate, the first privately-owned submersible with an intended maximum depth of 4,000 m. It also was the first completed crewed submersible that used a hull constructed of titanium and carbon fiber composite materials, as most other human-carrying submersibles are designed with an all-metal pressure vessel. On June 18, 2023, OceanGate lost contact with Titan during its dive in 2023 to the Titanic. A massive international search and rescue operation ensued and ended on June 22, 2023 when debris from Titan, which had been destroyed in a catastrophic implosion, was discovered about 500 metres (1,600 ft) in front of the bow of Titanic.
