Families of Titanic submersible victims pay tribute after 'catastrophic implosion'
manchestereveningnews.co.ukThe families of three of the victims of the Titanic submersible implosion have paid tribute to them as 'beloved, dedicated' fathers and sons.
The US Coast Guard confirmed the tail cone of the missing deep-sea vessel, which lost communication with tour operators on Sunday while about 435 miles south of St John’s, Newfoundland, was discovered around 1,600 ft from the bow of the Titanic wreckage.

Undersea expert Paul Hankin said five major pieces of debris helped to identify it as from the Titan submersible. Founding member of the Board of Trustees of The Explorers Club, Hamish Harding, was on board, alongside UK-based businessman Shahzada Dawood, his son Suleman Dawood, OceanGate’s chief executive and founder Stockton Rush and French submersible pilot Paul-Henri Nargeolet.
