Billionaire Larry Connor and Patrick Lahey of Triton Submarines will travel to the Titanic wreck in 2026 following the death of 5 on the OceanGate Titan.
Ohio billionaire Larry Connor is preparing for a daring return expedition to the Titanic wreck, partnering with Triton Submarines CEO Patrick Lahey to develop a new submersible for the mission. The new submersible, Triton 4000/2 Abyssal Explorer, is designed to dive to depths of 4,000 meters and features unique "Gull Wings" to protect marine life. Connor s determination was strengthened after the tragic implosion of the Titan submersible last year, which resulted in the loss of five passengers. The mission aims to demonstrate the safety and potential of deep-sea exploration while highlighting the wonders of the ocean.
