Seabourn, the leader in ultra-luxury voyages, has made a historic discovery during a submarine dive near Alejandro Selkirk Island in Chile's Juan Fernández Archipelago. On October 14, 2024, the Seabourn Pursuit expedition ship uncovered the wreck of the Titania, a German supplier ship lost for 110 years. Lying 95 meters below the surface, this marks the first sighting of the Titania since it was scuttled in 1914.

The discovery was led by Seabourn’s submarine team in collaboration with local fisherman Gino Perez, who guided the dive. The find is celebrated as a significant moment in maritime history.
