Breaking: Canada's transportation safety board is investigating Titan submersible and its Canadian support ship
DARTMOUTH - The U.S. Coast Guard will lead an investigation into the catastrophic implosion of the Titan submersible, which broke apart with five aboard and sank to the ocean floor during a dive to the Titanic earlier this week.
The board said TSB investigators had already been dispatched to St. John’s, N.L., where the Polar Prince and Titan were based prior to the ill-fated expedition. The ship, a former Canadian Coast Guard vessel, is owned by the Miawpukek First Nation in southern Newfoundland. Since the beginning of the search late Sunday, the U.S. Coast Guard has repeatedly referred to Titan as a Canadian vessel, though the company that operated the small craft, OceanGate Expeditions, is based in Washington state.
In an email, a senior U.S. navy official said an analysis of the acoustic data was shared with the “unified command” leading the search. The Canadian Armed Forces, which took part in the search, did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the U.S. navy’s data.Marine engineers have drawn attention to the fact that Titan, which had a carbon-fibre hull, was never “classed” or certified by an independent third party to ensure it met certain safety standards. In 2018, a group of engineers wrote a letter warning that the company’s “experimental” approach could have “catastrophic” consequences.
