For the first time since the event, parts of the tourist submersible that imploded on a deep dive to the Titanic, killing five passengers, have been seen.

On Wednesday, metal wreckage from the Titan sub was unloaded from the Horizon Arctic ship in St John’s, Canada.

Metal components from the sub were covered under tarps before being hoisted onto trucks in photographs.

The landing structure and a rear cover of the submersible were discovered among the debris, according to US Coast Guard personnel.

On June 18, all five people on board died when the ship exploded approximately 90 minutes into a dive to see the famed 1912 shipwreck, which is located at a depth of 3,800m (12,500ft) in the north Atlantic.
