Police have boarded the main support ship of the Titan submersible after it returned to the harbour following the deep-sea vessel’s fatal implosion. Flags on board the Polar Prince were at half-mast as it arrived at the port in St John’s in Newfoundland on Saturday, after four passengers and the pilot of Titan were killed in the incident near the wreckage of the Titanic.
Police and safety investigators could be seen on board the vessel after the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) of Canada announced it would be the subject of an investigation. TSB officials could be seen boarding the Polar Prince shortly after it docked.
Rib boats could be seen towing what appeared to be the Titan submersible’s launch platform away from the Polar Prince and further along the port. Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) boats had already started to return to St John’s harbour on Friday as the recovery operation began to wind down.
