Seabourn discovers lost shipwreck

12 Nov 2024
Comments | 0

Seabourn Pursuit, a luxury expedition ship, has discovered the wreck of Titania, a WW1-era German supply ship that was scuttled in 1914 near Alejandro Selkirk Island, Chile.

The ship, 110 years later, was found 95m under water during a submarine dive during a Seabourn cruise. This was the first sighting since its sinking.

Submarine Pilot Mauricio Fernandez led the discovery, with assistance from local fisherman Gino Perez, who had long heard stories about Titania’s location.

Perez’s knowledge helped guide the team to the wreck, about 4,25 nautical miles off the island’s northwest coast.

The discovery occurred during one of Seabourn Pursuit's South Pacific itineraries, which explore remote regions, including Easter Island, the Juan Fernández Archipelago, and the Pitcairn Islands.

Seabourn’s submarines, available on selected voyages, offer guests the chance to explore underwater realms, including previously unexplored locations.

"Experiences like these are a testament to the spirit of expedition, and this discovery is nothing short of historic," said Robin West, VP and GM of expeditions at Seabourn.

"Seabourn's expeditions, and particularly our submarine explorations, often take our guests to places where no other human has ever explored. I am so incredibly proud of our expedition team for delivering this once-in-a-lifetime and truly unforgettable 'Seabourn Moment' to our guests and the local community on Selkirk Island."
