ST. JOHN’S, N.L. The first manned survey of the rusting RMS Titanic in 13 years will depart in June from St. John’s, N.L. Their $130,000 seats — US$105,129 — were priced at the inflation-adjusted cost of a first-class ticket for Titanic’s doomed maiden voyage, and help fund the company’s research. OceanGate provides manned submersibles for industry, research and exploration but has built a novel sub specifically for the Titanic dives. Rush said there are plans for presentations at Memorial University of Newfoundland, a public show and tell and maybe even some “shallow dunks” in the St. John’s harbour.
