ATLANTIC OCEAN — The world's most famous shipwreck is going to be accessible to tourists next year, provided they've got really deep pockets.<br /><br />According to Metro UK, deep-sea exploration company OceanGate is charging $105,129 for the chance to join a submarine mission to the wreck of the ill-fated ship.<br /><br />That's roughly the cost of a first class ticket on the Titanic in 1912, after inflation.<br /><br />For that much money, tourists will get to call themselves 'mission specialists' as they join exactly one dive on the 11-day mission. The dive to the wreck site entails taking a seven-hour trip in the Titan submersible.<br /><br />According to the description on the OceanGate website, they also get to "assist the expedition crew in one or more support roles aboard the surface vessel, and aboard Titan during a dive."<br /><br />Spots are limited — there are only six missions scheduled, and nine positions available per mission. The first four missions are also already full.
