Photos show the OceanGate Titan submersible’s wreckage, which sadly resulted in the deaths of all five occupants.
On Wednesday morning, large pieces of the submarine were successfully salvaged and brought to land in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Pelagic Research Services, a recognized US-based business that specializes in ocean research instruments and services, completed the work.

As debris was being unloaded from the Horizon Arctic ship, photographers were able to get some striking shots of the disassembled sub. Despite the employees’ best efforts to hide the debris, these images provide a startling look inside the dismantled submarine.
Pelagic Research Services acknowledged the crew’s labor of love on social media once they arrived, writing, “Bravo, and welcome back, team! You have made all of us extremely proud of the job you performed flawlessly. Stay safe as you finish up demobilization, and we’ll see you back at base ops.”
The business used remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to look for sub parts at a depth of 12,500 feet underwater, and they were successful in finding the debris. On June 23, it was formally declared that the Titan’s chambers had been discovered by the ROVs amidst the massive amount of debris.
The crew’s off-shore activities have been successfully completed after 10 days of intense labor. Please join us later today for a news conference sponsored by Pelagic Research Services.
As the inquiry into the unfortunate tragedy moves on, more study will be done on the discovered submarine parts.
The US Coast Guard, National Transportation Safety Board, and Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) have all remained silent on the submersible probe.
“We are not able to provide any additional information at this time as the investigation is ongoing,” Liam MacDonald, a TSB spokeswoman, said.

Tragic events occur as the Titan submarine explodes, killing five people. CEO of OceanGate Stockton Rush, well-known adventurer Hamish Harding, skilled diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet, prominent businesswoman Shahzada Dawood, and his 19-year-old son Suleman are among those that perished.
Just one hour and forty-five minutes into their trip, passengers on a dive to examine the Titanic ruins were unexpectedly cut off from their crew on the main ship, the Polar Prince. A hasty four-day search effort was launched as a result of this sudden loss of touch by marine authorities and specialists from Canada, the United States, and France.
