Citizen Explorers join as Mission Specialists to support a team of researchers and content experts who are surveying the wreck 3800 meters beneath the ocean surface. Using the latest in subsea exploration technology the team will survey, document and assess the current condition of the shipwreck.
OceanGate Expeditions is conducting a longitudinal survey of the shipwreck during a series of week long missions using a manned submersible to explore the wreck of the RMS Titanic.
The ship will depart from St. John's, Newfoundland aboard the Horizon Arctic at the start of each mission, with Titan and its launch and recovery platform on deck.This ship has accommodations for up to 50 operations crew, Mission Specialists, and content experts.
The Horizon Arctic is Canadian-owned and operated by Horizon Maritime. The 93.6 meter vessel has the environmentally-friendly CLEAN DESIGN class notation, a hybrid propulsion system, and improved low resistance design for high speed and crew comfort. The vessel also has an ROV with integrated control room and launch and recovery system.
Expeditions are conducted with great respect for those who lost their lives in the tragic sinking of the Titanic. We plan to observe the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Guidelines for Research, Exploration and Salvage of RMS Titanic [Docket No. 000526158–1016–02] and UNESCO guidelines for the preservation of underwater world heritage sites. Our purpose is to learn and document without touching or disturbing the site.
