The United States Coast Guard says two more remotely operated vehicles have joined the search for a submersible that lost contact with surface vessels on Sunday as it was diving to reach the wreck of the Titanic with five people aboard.

The First Coast Guard District in Boston confirmed this morning on Twitter that the French ROV L'Atalante was being prepared to enter the water about 700 kilometres southeast of Newfoundland.
