Newly Released Images Show OceanGate Titan Wreckage Found 1,600 Feet from Titanic’s Bow
New images released by the U.S. Coast Guard show the wreckage of the ill-fated sub resting just 1,600 feet from the Titanic’s bow.
The Titan lost contact with its support vessel, the Polar Prince, approximately two hours into its descent on June 18, 2023. The doomed vessel was carrying prominent figures, including British explorer Hamish Harding, British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, and French deep-sea explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet.
Their mission was to explore the wreckage of the Titanic, a symbol of humanity’s hubris—and, ironically, their journey suffered a fate eerily reminiscent of the historic ship’s ill-fated voyage.
According to reports, the U.S. Navy had detected the Titan’s implosion just hours after the vessel began its ill-fated journey.
