She paid a large sun of $250,000 (close to Rs 2 crore) to visit the wreckage of the Titanic.

Her dream of seeing the remains of the gigantic ship began when she was a child, and no one had found the location of the Titanic.

The woman studied science and took up oceanography with the hope of being the first person to find the luxurious ship’s wreckage. But during her first week of college, the wreckage was found. She began saving for a visit to the Titanic.

As many as 2,200 people were onboard, when the giant ship sank killing at least 1,500. The Titanic wreckage site is now considered an underwater UNESCO Heritage site.
