Description
The U.S. Coast Guard is leading the search for an Everett-based submersible that was set to take adventure tourists to the wreck of the Titanic.
The vessel, Titan, lost contact with the surface Sunday approximately 900 miles off the coast of Cape Cod and there is only a limited amount of time before the crew of five runs out of air.
“Right now all of our efforts are focused on finding the sub,” said Coast Guard Capitan Jamie Frederick.
Frederick describes a unified search effort that includes military aircraft, remote underwater vehicles and commercial vessels – all after a missing crew that was trying to get a glimpse of the Titanic more than 12,000 feet below the surface of the ocean.
On Tuesday evening the search utilized the capabilities of a massive commercial pipe-laying vessel – equipped with a remotely operated vehicle, essentially an underwater drone, to search for any glimpse of a missing submersible and its crew of five.
