Coming from different backgrounds, the men aboard the submersible converged in a Canadian city on the easternmost tip of North America, bound by a common dream of seeing the remains of the passenger ship that has been on the ocean floor since it sank in 1912.
A British explorer. A father and son. An adventuring CEO. And a French pilot known as "Mr. Titanic."
Those were the five men aboard the submersible that went missing near the wreckage of the Titanic on Sunday morning. They're now dead after the US Coast Guard said debris found Thursday indicated their ship suffered a "catastrophic implosion."
Coming from different backgrounds, they converged in St. John's, Newfoundland, a Canadian city on the easternmost tip of North America, bound by a common dream of seeing the remains of the passenger ship that has been on the ocean floor since it sank in 1912.
"Our hearts are broken," Explorers Club President Richard Garriott de Cayeux said in a statement. "Their memories will be a blessing and will continue to inspire us in the name of science and exploration."
