Larry Connor, an Ohio investor, approached Patrick Lahey of Triton Submarines with the idea of building a new vehicle to safely dive to the Titanic.
As well as exploring the wrecked vessel, the mission aims to correct the negative image around private deep-sea projects following the recent tragic Oceangate submarine accident.
