A map of the deep charcoal seabed, spliced from sonar images, exposes for the first time the image of the wreckage of the Titan Submersible on the seabed, which is located on the right side of the bow of the Titanic, "very close".

Distribution area of Titan wreckage (within the circle)

On the 18th of last month, this Submersible carrying five people to investigate the famous sunken ship "Titanic" lost contact after diving in the North Atlantic, causing global concern. After several days of searching by a large number of rescuers, the United States Coast Guard announced on June 22 that it was confirmed that the Titan had disintegrated underwater, which was characterized by a "catastrophic implosion", and all five passengers were killed.

Recently, the company with the exclusive right to salvage the Titanic wreck and its cultural relics submitted a seabed map to the United States Federal Court, showing the relative position of the Titanic Submersible wreckage and the Titanic wreck - the bow of the Titanic is at the bottom left of the map; The approximate location of the Titan remains is located in an area on the right or starboard side of the complete bow section, which is a dashed circle on the upper right side.

Part of the map was drawn by the victims of the Titan

RMS Titanic Inc., headquartered in Georgia, USA, owns ownership and salvage rights to the wreckage of the Titanic.

The CEO of the company, Jessica Sanders, stated that a portion of the mosaic map was drawn by Paul Henry Nageole, a 77 year old French diver and Titanic expert who was one of the Titan victims, during his 37 dives during his lifetime. He was killed inside the Titan while attempting to dive for the 38th time and observe it up close.

The bow and railings of the Titanic are relatively well preserved

Brian Weig, a lawyer of RMS Titanic, revealed that this map was also submitted to the United States Coast Guard and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. None of the above federal agencies questioned the accuracy of the map, so "we believe this is reliable data".

Weig said that the Marine Survey Commission (MBI) under the United States Coast Guard will complete the investigation within 12 to 18 months and hold public hearings, when witnesses will be present to provide testimony.

The latest underwater map shows that the wreckage of Titan is scattered on the starboard side of the bow of Titanic, but the map does not include a scale, but it can still be seen how close the two are. Earlier, when the United States Coast Guard announced on June 22 that the Titan Submersible had suffered a catastrophic implosion, it said that the area of the remains was about 1600 feet (487.68 meters) from the bow of the Titanic.

Did the Titan sink vertically in the last minute?

Nearly a month after the implosion of the Titan Submersible, it was originally thought that five people in the Submersible would die instantly when implosion occurred, without suffering. But it was reported on the 12th that Jose Luis Martin, a Spanish engineer and underwater expert, put forward a new conjecture: at last, "there were 48 to 71 seconds", and the five people in the submersible knew their fate.

Salvaging the wreckage of the Titan that came out of water

Martin calculated and speculated on the final moment of the Titan crash based on his own experience. He believed that during the controlled dive, the Titan had an electrical failure, which caused the Submersible to lose its propulsion power. At that time, it lost contact with the Polar Prince (mother ship), "he continued." The Titan changed its position and sank vertically like an arrow

"(When the Submersible sinks vertically) They are all crowded together. Imagine the horror, fear and pain." Martin added, "It must be like a horror movie. It's hard to imagine what they experienced at those moments. In 48 seconds or one minute, they will die instantly due to implosion."
