Presumed human remains have been recovered from the wreckage of the Titan submersible, the US Coast Guard has said.
The USCG says it received debris and evidence from the sea floor at the site of the deep-sea vessel's fatal implosion, which killed five people. British adventurer Hamish Harding and father and son Shahzada and Suleman Dawood were killed on board the vessel near the wreckage of the Titanic, alongside OceanGate Expeditions' chief executive, Stockton Rush, and French national Paul-Henri Nargeolet.
Large pieces of debris from Titan were transported to St John's harbour on Wednesday by the Horizon Arctic ship, where it was seen being unloaded by a crane. Speaking after the evidence was recovered, the Marine Board of Investigation's (MBI) chairman, Captain Jason Neubauer, said: "I am grateful for the co-ordinated international and inter-agency support to recover and preserve this vital evidence at extreme offshore distances and depths.
