Canadian Coast Guard Discovers Debris from the Titan Submersible Near the Wreck of the Titanic

On June 28th, 2023, the Canadian Coast Guard pier in St. John’s, Newfoundland welcomed the Horizon Arctic, a Canadian-flagged ship carrying a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) that had been searching for the Titan submersible near the wreck of the Titanic. The ship had been searching for the ill-fated Titan submersible, which had imploded while carrying five people to the wreckage of the Titanic last week.

The Canadian Coast Guard reported that the ROV had discovered debris from the sub about 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic at the bottom of the Atlantic. The debris was unloaded from the Horizon Arctic and was consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel.

The Titan submersible had been sent to the wreck of the Titanic to explore the site and take pictures of the wreckage. The submersible was equipped with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) that could be used to explore the ocean floor and take pictures of the wreckage.

The Titan submersible was lost in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean and the five people on board were presumed dead. The debris recovered from the ocean floor is a reminder of the tragedy that occurred and serves as a reminder of the dangers of deep sea exploration.

The Canadian Coast Guard is continuing to investigate the cause of the implosion and the fate of the five people on board the Titan submersible. The debris recovered from the ocean floor will be used to help determine the cause of the implosion and provide closure to the families of the victims.
