Odysseus’ owner, Pelagic Research Services, said in a statement that the team “successfully” completed offshore operations. and that it is now running the “demobilization process” in the Horizon Arctic after ten days of work.
Among the images released by the CBC, the bow of the submarine can be seen intact, with a gray hemispherical piece and a small porthole from which those on board can see out.
The porthole appears to have lost the piece of transparent material covering it.

Another piece of Titan thrown by Horizon Arctic is a large space at the back of the vehicle that looks like a machine. Titanium is made of titanium and carbon fiber.
As Horizon Arctic docked at one of the docks in the port of Saint John, Newfoundland, a team of inspectors from the Canadian Transportation Security Bureau (TSB) boarded the ship.

Both the TSB and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have launched investigations to determine the circumstances of the Titan crash.
The TSB stated that, as the authority responsible for the diver’s mother ship, it will “conduct a security investigation into the circumstances of the operation by the Canadian-flagged vessel Polar Prince.”
The US Coast Guard announced that it has launched an official investigation to reveal the causes of the explosion suffered by the Titan diver.disappeared a week ago while traveling to view the wreckage of the Titanic with five other people on board.
The US Coast Guard also reported another official investigation into the loss of the submarine, which will try to explain the cause of the tragedy.
The investigation will be led by Captain Jason Neubauer, who explained at a press conference that the main goal is to “prevent something similar from happening” in the future and “makes necessary recommendations to improve maritime security around the world”.
Polar Prince, on the 16th, with five of his passengers, was responsible for pulling the Titan underwater from the port of San Juan de Terranova to the point where it sank in the Atlantic, about 600 kilometers southeast, where the Titanic’s remains were found. . .
