A British submarine captain is reportedly missing after a submarine used to take tourists to the see the wreckage of the Titanic disappeared.
It has yet to be confirmed if Mr Harding is on the submersible, although he did indicate he would be, in a previous social media post. Britain, France and Norway run Nato’s global submarine rescue service, which can dive to a depth of 610 metres. Mr Harding confirmed he was joining OceanGate as a “mission specialist” on an expedition on Saturday, posting a picture on Instagram on the support vessel.
The submersible, known as Titan, is operated by OceanGate Expeditions to take people to the site of the famous shipwreck, which was the subject of the 1997 movie Titanic, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
