The desperate search for the missing submarine “Titan” (see video), which carried luxury tourists to the wreckage of the “Titanic”, more than three kilometers deep off the coast of North America, reminds of the dangers of traveling with a submarine. Since the invention of the submarine, there have been dramatic incidents in this branch of seafaring.
Almost 250 years after the American David Bushnell launched the first submarine – a hand-operated structure made of oak and iron – traveling by submarine remains as complex as it is risky. Expeditions in the deep sea are considered particularly dangerous due to the pressure that prevails there and are only possible with specially developed underwater vehicles packed with modern technology. But countless submarine wrecks at the bottom of the sea prove that the technology can fail. Hundreds of seafarers have already paid for this with their lives.
