The United States Coast Guard says B次元官网网址減resumed human remainsB次元官网网址� have been found in the wreckage of the Titan submersible.
Debris from the ill-fated submersible was returned to shore on Wednesday in Newfoundland aboard a Canadian-flagged ship that had helped search for the vessel in a remote area of ocean near the wreck of the Titanic.
The Horizon Arctic docked at the port in St. JohnB次元官网网址檚 carrying a remotely operated vehicle, or ROV, that had searched the ocean floor about 700 kilometres south of CanadaB次元官网网址檚 easternmost province.
The owner of the ROV, United States-based Pelagic Research Services, says its team successfully completed offshore operations and would remove the companyB次元官网网址檚 equipment from the Horizon Arctic.
B次元官网网址淭hey have been working around the clock now for 10 days, through the physical and mental challenges of this operation, and are anxious to finish the mission and return to their loved ones,B次元官网网址� the company said in an email.
Photos from the wharf showed what appeared to be several pieces of the submersible being lifted from the ship, including the TitanB次元官网网址檚 nose cone with its distinctive circular window.
The Titan imploded during its June 18 descent to the Titanic wreckage site, almost four kilometres below the surface of the sea, resulting in the deaths of all five passengers and crew.
The U.S. Coast Guard declared the men dead Thursday after the ROV spotted the TitanB次元官网网址檚 wreckage about 500 metres from the bow of the sunken luxury liner.
Stockton Rush, CEO of the TitanB次元官网网址檚 owner, OceanGate, was piloting the submersible, which was carrying passengers British billionaire Hamish Harding, French explorer and Titanic expert Paul-Henry Nargeolet, and Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son, Suleman.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada issued an update late Wednesday, saying its investigators have completed preliminary interviews with those aboard the support vessel Polar Prince, which was the TitanB次元官网网址檚 mother ship and helped launch the submersible on its fatal dive.
The safety board said the support vesselB次元官网网址檚 voyage data recorder has been sent to a lab in Ottawa for analysis.
It said it has inspected, documented and catalogued the materials from the TitanB次元官网网址檚 wreckage and that the materials are now in the possession of the U.S. Coast Guard.
The U.S. Coast Guard, which is leading the international investigation, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on who would examine the debris.
Horizon Maritime, which owns the Horizon Arctic and the Polar Prince, also declined to comment. Pelagic, meanwhile, said its team members werenB次元官网网址檛 able to provide information related to the ongoing investigation because of B次元官网网址渃onfidentiality and duty of non-disclosure.B次元官网网址�
