First glimpse of the imploded Titanic submarine as bits are found from the ocean floor
Deep-sea robots brought Titan debris onshore on Wednesday as the US Coast Guard carried out recovery efforts in the wake of the sub's devastating collapse.
After the Coast Guard reported on 22 June that ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) had discovered the Titan's chambers in a sea of debris 1,600 feet from the Titanic's bow, or around 12,000 feet below the ocean's surface, the wreckage was seen for the first time in photographs.
The ROV used to uncover the prior debris was operated by Pelagic Research Services, which announced on Wednesday that its team had successfully finished off-shore operations and was now demobilising after ten days of work. A press conference will be conducted later in the day, according to the company.
Images taken from the pier appear to show the lifting of many components of the submersible, including the nose cone with its recognisable circular window. At a port in St. John's, Newfoundland, the components were discharged from the American ships Sycamore and Horizon Arctic.
Regarding the investigation or the debris' return to the shore, the US Coast Guard declined to comment. The inquiry is being conducted by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB), respectively.Folloing are the links to use as works :

According to Liam MacDonald, a TSB representative, "We are not able to provide any additional information at this time as the investigation is ongoing."
Among those on board the Titan when it exploded last week were Pakistani industrialist Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman, British billionaire Hamish Harding, renowned French diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet, and CEO of the firm that ran the Titan, Stockton Rush.
On June 18, barely one hour and forty-five minutes after starting its ascent to the Titanic wreck, the submersible lost touch with its mothership Polar Prince, setting off a frenzied four-day hunt. Before the sad events on June 22, Canadian, American, and French marine officials and experts searched vast stretches of the ocean for signs of life.
The US Navy had heard sounds that were consistent with a "implosion or explosion" soon after the sub vanished and prior to the start of rescue operations, the Coast Guard reported last week. Rescue operations were still underway at the time since the information was inconclusive, according to the Coast Guard.
US maritime officials say they'll release a study aimed at enhancing the safety of submersibles around the world. An international committee of organisations is currently looking into what may have caused the submersible to implode.
