How Titan was Built, Lost and Found: An Analysis

This week the maritime research community and world as a whole was shocked by two tragedies at sea; the sinking of passenger vessel of Greece which took hundreds of lives and the loss of the OceanGate submersible Titan diving on the wreck of Titanic. Because this channel's focus is on Titanic and her history, I will be covering the latter in detail today as many of you have reached out for more information. Frankly I have been disappointed but not ultimately surprised at the coverage of this event across the globe as well as the general feeling and response from much of the public online. Out of respect to families and friends of those lost I have tried here to present a factual account of what has happened and why. This video goes into some detail around the design and construction of Titan and the technology that was used in the search for her. With special thanks to @jimryan4056 for letting me use the amazing footage of the underwater sonar ping. Oceanliner Designs explores the design, construction, engineering and operation of history’s greatest vessels– from Titanic to Queen Mary and from the Empress of Ireland to the Lusitania.
