On October 14, 2024 , Seabourn Pursuit , the ultra-luxury line's newest purpose-built expedition ship, uncovered the Titania , a German supplier ship lost for 110 years.
Lying 95 meters below the surface, this remarkable find marks the first sighting of the Titania since it was scuttled in 1914. "Experiences like these are a testament to the spirit of expedition, and this discovery is nothing short of historic," said Robin West , vice president and general manager 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." The discovery of the Titania was made possible through the submarine team's dedicated research and close coordination with local communities to provide guests with a truly unique experience.
