Canadian military aircraft and a Canadian Coast Guard vessel are assisting the search effort.
Action Aviation confirmed that its company chairman, U.K. businessman Hamish Harding, was one of the tourists on board. The company’s managing director, Mark Butler, told the AP that the crew set out on Friday.
The US Coast Guard received a call Sunday from the submersible’s command ship, the Polar Prince, that it lost communications with the vessel about 900 miles east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, according to Lt. Samantha Corcoran, a Coast Guard spokesperson in Boston. A C-130 plane with radar capability was dispatched to search the area Sunday, and on Monday was joined by a Canadian P-8 Poseidon, an aircraft designed for anti-submarine warfare.
The latest trip was scheduled to depart from St. John’s, Newfoundland, in early May and finish up at the end of June, according to a court documents filed by the company in April with a U.S. District Court in Virginia that presides over Titanic matters.
