The Titanic Wreck: Obsession, Discovery, and Controversy.
Descendants of those who perished on the Titanic have criticized submersible tours of the wreckage, calling for the site to be treated with more respect. The underwater expedition to the Titanic’s wreckage, regarded by some as a watery “graveyard” for the 1,496 passengers and crew killed in the disaster, went awry shortly after the submersible launched its mission off the coast of Newfoundland with five people on board. The vessel lost contact with the support ship after just an hour and a half and has not been heard from since.
