The U.S. Coast Guard announced on Thursday that a debris field found by searchers near the Titanic earlier in the day is wreckage from the missing Titan submersible.. Shortly before the announcement, OceanGate Expeditions, the U.S.-based company that owned and operated the submersible, said in a statement that it believed the five passengers of the Titanic-bound submersible have ''sadly been lost.''. The submersible went missing more than 600 kilometers off the coast of Newfoundland in eastern Canada early Sunday morning during a dive to the wreck of the Titanic in the North Atlantic.
