I’d bet that the hull breached on Day 1.

Agreed, perhaps they didn’t even make it to their destination. If the capsule was crushed they may find it on the bottom near the Titanic, however if the ballast mechanism was compromised and just enough air to keep it from hitting bottom it may well be carried away on the North Atlantic currents never to be found.
It is said there is a fine line between guts and stupidity.
