The US Coast Guard recovered a still intact ink pen, along with other items, while sifting through the remains of the ill-fated OceanGate Titan submersible.
In a recent video, a member of the US Coast Guard detailed the painstaking recovery process of the Titan wreckage, revealing how the pen - identified as belonging to OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush - was discovered among the waterlogged wreckage of the deep-sea tragedy.
Alongside the pen, investigators recovered various items, including business cards, Titanic-themed stickers, clothing remnants and human remains. The recovered artifacts have been cataloged by the Coast Guard's Marine Board of Investigation.
The Titan submersible, a carbon fiber and titanium vessel designed to take paying customers to view the wreck of the Titanic nearly 3,800 meters below the surface, suffered a catastrophic implosion during a June 2023 descent, killing all five people on board.
In the video, posted to TikTok by Discovery, a member of the US Coast Guard broke down the process of sorting through the remains explaining that the Titan's 'endcap' was still intact.
