The US Coast Guard has revealed the first image of OceanGate’s doomed Titan submersible, which shows the vessel’s severed tail cone eerily resting on the ocean floor.

The image was made public at a press conference Monday nearly three months since the experimental watercraft imploded around 12,500 feet below sea level on June 18, 2023 killing all 5 passengers on board.

Among the dead were OceanGate CEO and cofounder Stockton Rush, who was operating the Titan, as well as British adventurer Hamish Harding, French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet and two members of a prominent Pakistani family, Shahzada Dawood and his son, Suleman.

The vessel lost contact with its support vessel about two hours after it slipped beneath the sea at the start of its voyage to the wreckage of the Titanic in the North Atlantic. Its disappearance captivated the world until debris from the submersible was discovered four days later.
