Bobby CapucciHOST
And for the price of $250,000, you can't find something better to do with your time? I can think of about five katrillion things that are more interesting than going to the bottom of the ocean.
Bobby CapucciHOST
The Boston Coast Guard and Canadian Coast Guard are both now looking for the missing vessel that is operated by the tour company Ocean Gate Expeditions.
Bobby CapucciHOST
The wreckage of the iconic ship sits 12,500 feet, two and a half miles, underwater, around 370 miles from Newfoundland, Canada.
Bobby CapucciHOST
So 370 miles from Canada, you're in the middle of the ocean, you're not close to anything.

Bobby CapucciHOST
So you have to have some kind of rescue craft.
Bobby CapucciHOST
And logic would dictate that they launched that rescue craft and they came up with nothing.
Bobby CapucciHOST
Marine traffic shows the Canadian Coast Guard's Polar Prince, Horizon Arctic, and Coptic Hobson, 1752, are now making their way to the wreckage.
Bobby CapucciHOST
And that's what'll happen when there's a ship that goes down.

Well, sir, I heard you speak this week at the American Society of Naval Engineers ASNE Conference on Arctic Security, where you were on a panel dealing with challenges in icebreaker construction.
Chris KavasHOST
For those of you who aren't familiar with what's going on at C-SPAN or what's going on with Canada in terms of icebreakers, C-SPAN, along with Canada's East Coast Davies Shipbuilding, Artwork building a number of new icebreakers for the Canadian Coast Guard.
Chris KavasHOST
She spent on October 14th, just had a keel ceremony for a 26,000-ton, 520-foot-long icebreaker called Imneryak.
Chris KavasHOST
If I didn't quite get that right, something like Imneryak.
Chris KavasHOST
The largest icebreaker ever built in Canada.
Chris KavasHOST
The ship to be delivered in 2032 will cost an estimated U.S. $3 billion and be capable of year-round operations in the Arctic.
Chris KavasHOST
C-SPAN is also building up to 16 smaller, multi-purpose icebreakers for the Canadian Coast Guard.
Chris KavasHOST
Canada's experience in building icebreakers is a key element to the U.S. Coast Guard's Arctic Security Cutter Program, which was formally announced at the end of last year.

The Boston Coast Guard and Canadian Coast Guard are both now looking for the missing vessel that is operated by the tour company Ocean Gate Expeditions.
Bobby CapucciHOST
The wreckage of the iconic ship sits 12,500 feet, 2.5 miles, underwater, around 370 miles from Newfoundland, Canada.
Bobby CapucciHOST
So 370 miles from Canada, you're in the middle of the ocean, you're not close to anything, you're out here in a submersible, and you think it's a good idea to go down and check out the wreckage of the Titanic, huh? What, you never seen the movie? James Cameron's depiction wasn't good enough for you? Ocean Gate Expeditions is thought to be the only company that offers the tours.

Bob BaileyVOICE_ACTOR
what happens when a six-feeter runs out of gas? Yeah.
Bob BaileyVOICE_ACTOR
Well, I can radio the Canadian Coast Guard.
Bob BaileyVOICE_ACTOR
No, no.
Bob BaileyVOICE_ACTOR
By the time they get through the necessary red tape to hold those boys and get here from wherever their nearest station is.
Mike BradleyGUEST
I'm guessing the Canadian government did know, but they should have let Canadian cities, Canadian mayors know that this was happening.
Nil KöksalHOST
We reached out to the Canadian Coast Guard for comment.
Nil KöksalHOST
I've not heard back from them yet as you and I have this conversation.
Nil KöksalHOST
They did speak to our CBC News colleagues back in the summer in June, not long after this was first announced in May.
Nil KöksalHOST
They told our CBC News colleagues, the Canadian Coast Guard did, that they have no involvement with this drone sale program.
Nil KöksalHOST
In terms of the U.S. Coast Guard, I'm sure given where you are, you have dealings with them.
Nil KöksalHOST
Does it surprise you that they would not have said something
Mike BradleyGUEST
Yes, it does.
IreneHOST
Twelve hours into the Empress's voyage, the ship collided with the SS Storsad, and 1,012 passengers died instantly.
IreneHOST
The Canadian Coast Guard fingered the captain of the Storsad as the party responsible for the collision.
IreneHOST
Through a series of increasingly passive-aggressive interrogations, those sea-legged loggers deduced that the Norseman, whose name nobody quite caught but was likely Jan, had gotten blithered, off his translucent beard on 20,000 leagues worth of aquabit and fermented trout behind the wheel and then forgot to signal when passing the Empress in the seaways' fiddly series of man-made locks only a few miles from Pointe-aux-Pers.
IreneHOST
The Empress rolled starboard and to this day the intact hull sleeps sideways on the floor of the St. Lawrence.
Rich NapolitanoHOST
The 15-meter boat developed a leak in deteriorating weather and was abandoned by its occupants.
