Ocean Gate Expeditions has confirmed debris found near the Titanic is from the tourist submersible Titan, which disappeared on a dive to visit the wreck of the Titanic with five people on board. All five passengers are believed to be dead.
The race to find the missing submarine came to a close on Thursday after days of searching, with officials saying the five men likely died on Sunday in a “catastrophic implosion”.
Speaking at a final press conference on Thursday, Rear Admiral John Mauger of the US Coast Guard said: “The implosion would have generated a significant, broadband sound that the sonar buoys would have picked up.”
The debris included the tail cone from the submersible as well as the front end bell from the pressure hull. In a second debris field, they located the other end of the pressure hull.
When asked if there was a possibility of recovering the bodies of the passengers, officials said they were unable to say at this time but would continue searching.
