The Titan is a research and survey submersible that can carry five people,
usually a pilot and four “mission specialists” who can include
archaeologists, marine biologists or anyone who can afford the experience
as a tourist.
About the titan
The missing submersible in question is an
OceanGate Titan watercraft, which can
take five people to depths of up to 4,000m.
The Titan is about 22 feet in length, with
speeds of about 3 knots, or 5.5km per hour.
Although submersibles are often connected
to a surface vessel by a tether, video and
photos suggest the Titan was likely
operating independently of the surface
ship.
