A submarine capable of exploring the depths of the Atlantic Ocean to show the remains of the Titanic to tourists has not been found yet. The search for the submarine resumed last Thursday after a break of 1 hour and 45 minutes. The search for the submarine is ongoing.

The lost submarine is named Titan and was used for transporting passengers underwater. This submarine, shaped like a truck, can accommodate a driver and a total of five explorers. It can supply oxygen for four days underwater.

The owner of the Titan is the American institution OceanGate. The institution allows people interested in underwater exploration, research, and even travel to experience the underwater world through submarines. OceanGate has announced its utmost efforts to recover the lost submarine.

Among the missing passengers of the Titan, it has been revealed that there was a billionaire from the United Kingdom named Hamish Harding. The 58-year-old billionaire had communicated a few days ago through social media that he was going to see the remains of the Titanic.

The journey of the Titanic began from the city of St. John's in the province of Newfoundland, Canada. The distance from where the remains of the Titanic are located in the depths of the Atlantic is 600 kilometers. The Titanic is taken to the site of the wreckage by a ship called Polar Prince from St. John's. From there, the submarine carries the passengers to the underwater location. It takes about eight hours to tour the remains of the Titanic.

Last year, the news reporter for CBC, David Pogue, dived on the Titanic. He mentioned that after the Titanic sank, small messages were sent from the Polar Prince, which was on top of it, for communication purposes. However, there has been no response to those messages. There is no way for the passengers inside the Titanic to come out as their access paths are blocked from the outside. So, even if the submarine rises to the surface of the water, someone will have to open it from the outside.

In 1912, the Titanic started its maiden voyage from the United Kingdom to New York, United States. It sank with an iceberg, making it the largest ship of its time. Over 1,500 out of more than 2,200 passengers aboard the ship lost their lives. In 1985, the remains of the Titanic were found at a depth of 12,500 feet in the Atlantic.
