Mother ship of doomed Titan sub returns to port in Newfoundland

ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — The Canadian ship that launched the doomed Titan submersible into the depths of the North Atlantic on Sunday has returned to port in Newfoundland.

The Polar Prince pulled up alongside the Canadian Coast Guard building this morning in St. John’s after a journey of about 700 kilometres from the site of a massive international search for the Titan.

The Titan lost contact with the Polar Prince about an hour and 45 minutes into its descent to the wreck of the Titanic, almost four kilometres below the surface of the sea.
