Boston, MA- After nearly 4 days of searching by officials for a submersible owned by Ocean Gate, the U. S. Coast Guard has now presumed the 5 passengers that went to see the Titanic wreckage are dead.

That’s when in international waters the U. S, British, and Canadian forces began to search for the submersible and the 5 beloved passengers inside. But it took nearly 3 days before the water crafts needed finally arrived to the devastating scene.
