Titan submersible mothership which dropped five men on doomed Titanic expedition returns to shore

The Titan submersible's mothership returned to shore on the town of St John's on Newfoundland Island on Saturday (June 24). Rescue ships also made their return, bearing the weight of the loss of five men onboard OceanGate's submersible.
