The Titanic's wreck was discovered in 1985 during a search for missing nuclear submarines. It was found in water almost 4 kilometers deep, 600 kilometers south of St. Johns in Newfoundland.
Now, a ticket price of "only" 125,000 US dollars will buy you a seat on an expedition to the site. Once at the site, a special submersible will take you 4 kilometers down for a close inspection.
The company, Oceangate Expeditions, uses a Cyclops-class submersible called Titan, which is only one of four submersibles capable of descending to 4000 meters under the ocean.
This special craft's passenger compartment is a cylinder made of woven carbon fiber, with two titanium hemispheres on both sides. The front hemisphere features a viewing window that's 53 centimeters wide.
The Titan will fit 3 passengers at a time, plus a researcher and a pilot. The craft is powered by four electric thrusters and can descend to the wreck in 90 minutes.
