It has been a year since the disaster in which five private travelers tried to reach the wreck of the Titanic and died in the attempt. Now the next billionaire wants to take the plunge.
The next adventurous billionaire wants to travel to the Titanic. According to the Wall Street Journal, real estate mogul Larry Connor has announced plans for a risky expedition.
In 2023, five people died while trying to reach the wreckage in a mini-submarine. Connor has now invested a lot of money and time into developing a new mini-submarine. Together with Patrick Lahey from Triton Submarines, he developed an underwater vehicle that is said to be particularly robust and safe.
The development of the “Triton 4000/2 Abyssal Explorer”, which has space for two people, cost around 20 million US dollars (just over 18 million euros), according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. The underwater vehicle is said to be more powerful than previous models. The exact date of its expedition is not yet known.
The tragic sinking of the Titan occurred approximately 600 kilometers off the coast of Newfoundland when the submarine suddenly imploded. The search for the submarine and its passengers made international headlines.
The submarine disappeared from the scene on June 18, 2023, and the coast guards of several countries intervened in the search. Four days later, a debris field was discovered and all passengers were confirmed dead.
