Searchers are scouring the North Atlantic for a missing submersible that had been due to visit the wreckage of the Titanic. Here is what we know so far. | AFP

Its operator, a company called OceanGate Expeditions, told AFP in a statement late Monday that “for some time, we have been unable to establish communications with one of our submersible exploration vehicles which is currently visiting the wreck site of the Titanic.”

Harding, a 58-year-old aviator, space tourist, and chairman of Action Aviation, had posted Sunday on his Instagram account that he was proud to join OceanGate’s Titanic mission.“As of now, contact has been lost with their submersible craft and there is limited information available,” their family said in a statement.

But with no reported sightings of the vessel or communication signals, his team halted its flights for the day.
