It was in 1912 that the "unsinkable ship" Titanic collided with an iceberg in?North Atlantic and sank along with several people beneath the waves. It was only in 1985, 35 years later, that its remains were discovered.?
While watching the film based on the incident, if you have ever wondered how it would have been to live the life of Jack and Rose, you can now visit the wreckage left behind with your own eyes.?
To explore the world's most famous site first hand, you will have to pay USD 125,000 (Rs?93,15,312).
Although the cost is very steep, but what is being offered here is an experience that was impossible until now.?
How has that been made possible??
A company dedicated to manned exploration of the underwater world has announced the possible access to the world's most famous and historic site Titanic through their THE TITANIC SURVEY EXPEDITION 2021 project.
According to Fox News, the project by OceanGate Expeditions will train 'citizen scientists' as 'mission specialists' for a mission of rare undersea research and expedition on the wreckage of the Titanic.
The wreckage of the titanic will be documented with important features of the site using laser scans and 4k video that will be combined with high-resolution images to create a photorealistic virtual 3-D model of the shipwreck. For this, the mission specialists who will be accepted to join the expertise will play a vital role in transporting the citizen scientists and explorers to the wreck-site, according to OceanGate.
It will be a journey of about 12,467 feet below the surface of the ocean.?
The first schedule will be inaugurated by late-May through mid-July and there are six missions scheduled for it. Each mission will last 10 days and will involve unfettered, eight to 10-hour, 5-crew-member submersible dives that will be transporting citizen scientists and explorers to the wreck-site. Another set of series will run in summer 2022, according to OceanGate.
According to Fox News, up to nine "qualified citizen scientists" will be approved to go on each mission and only three "mission specialists" will be allowed on the five-person sub per dive.
