The company that owns the salvage rights to the Titanic is undertaking its first expedition to the ship's wreckage in years, and those involved in the mission said they have both heavy hearts and lofty goals for a trip happening a year after a submersible disaster involving another firm killed five people.

RMS Titanic Inc., a Georgia-based firm, holds the legal rights to salvage the wreck of the ship, which sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in 1912. The company's first expedition to the site since 2010 launched Friday from Providence, Rhode Island.

The voyage arrives as the worldwide community of undersea explorers is still reeling from the deadly  implosion of an experimental submersible  en route to the Titanic in June 2023. The Titan submersible disaster killed all five people on board, including  Paul-Henri Nargeolet , who was director of underwater research for RMS Titanic.

This summer's mission to the Titanic “means even more with the passing” of Nargeolet, known as “Mr. Titanic” by many, RMST Inc. president Jessica Sanders said.

The expedition will use modern imaging technology and remotely operated vehicles to capture detailed images of the Titanic, the wreckage site and the debris field, RMST Inc. representatives said.

“This monumental undertaking will allow us to document the Titanic in unprecedented detail and share new discoveries from the wreck site with the public, continuing the extraordinary work and passion of PH," Sanders said.

The ship headed to the site, the Dino Chouest, will take several days to reach the site and is slated to return around Aug. 13, said Jon Hammond, a spokesperson for RMST Inc.

The work will allow the company to provide a comprehensive analysis of the current condition of the Titanic wreckage site and a detailed assessment of artifacts that can be safely targeted for future recovery, RMST Inc. representatives said.

Nargeolet made more than 35 dives to the Titanic in his lifetime. The  implosion also killed Titan operator Stockton Rush ; two members of a prominent Pakistani family, Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman Dawood; and British adventurer Hamish Harding.

OceanGate, a company co-founded by Rush that owned the submersible, suspended operations a year ago. The U.S. Coast Guard convened a  high-level investigation  into what happened, but it has taken longer than expected and it's unclear when the investigation will conclude.

Undersea explorers are waiting to learn the results of the investigation and RMST Inc.'s trip to the Titanic site is an important milestone in the site's exploration, said Katy Croff Bell, founder of the Ocean Discovery League.

“The Coast Guard investigation is still ongoing and they have not released their results yet, so the final chapter in this episode has yet to come out,” Bell said. “One thing that has come out is there is perhaps more interest.”

This month's journey to the Titanic also will allow comparison to 2010 imaging, RMST Inc. representatives said. The mission also may result in discovery of new areas of the debris field, previously unknown marine life and new areas of deterioration that could provide unobstructed access to the interior of the ship, the company stated on its website.

The vessel making the trip is equipped with two remotely operated vehicles that will be used to capture the first end-to-end mapping image of the wreck field and debris site, RMST Inc. said.

The expedition will include "the highest resolution camera systems ever deployed at the site in an effort to bring new insights about the ship to the community,” said Evan Kovacs, an underwater cinematographer working on the mission.

Edison Chouest Vessel Departs on High-Tech Imaging Expedition to Titanic Wreck Site

Share this article.

C-Innovation’s multi-purpose offshore vessel Dino Chouest has departed from Port Fourchon, Louisiana, and is enroute to Providence, Rhode Island, to support an upcoming expedition to the RMS Titanic wreck site.

RMS Titanic, Inc., the salvor-in-possession of the iconic ship, announced the dates for its 2024 Imaging and Research Expedition in April, along with plans to utilize high-resolution imaging technology to capture the most advanced and accurate images of the wreck site and debris field to date.

The 2024 Imaging and Research Expedition is scheduled to depart from Providence this month, with the company predicting that July will offer the most favorable weather conditions for the research. The expedition will feature the Dino Chouest , provided by expedition partner C-Innovation, an affiliate of Edison Chouest Offshore (ECO). The vessel is equipped with two of the company’s remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), which will be used to capture the first-ever end-to-end mapping image of the wreck site and debris field.

“The 2024 expedition will not only provide the most advanced and detailed look at the current state of the wreck site and debris field but will also allow us to assess which artifacts may be at risk of being lost forever,” said RMST Inc. President Jessica Sanders. “By utilizing the latest imaging and deep-sea technologies, we will get an accurate assessment of some of the most cherished artifacts, including the Marconi Radio, identify new artifacts, and we hope to shine a light on new discoveries that have never been seen before.”

The TITANIC Expedition 2024 aims to survey the wreck site using advanced technology to help understand its historical significance, identify and protect at-risk artifacts, conserve the area, promote scientific study, engage the global community, and inspire future explorers. The ROVs are fitted with a custom-built structured array of high-resolution cameras and custom lighting to provide 65K resolution imagery, offering unprecedented insights into the state of the wreck site and the risk of loss for artifacts that can be saved before they deteriorate forever.

“Titanic is one of the most studied shipwrecks to date, and Marine Imaging Technologies is excited to bring the highest resolution camera systems ever deployed at the site in an effort to bring new insights about the ship to the community,” said Marine Imaging Technologies Founder and Senior Director of Photography Evan Kovacs.

PORTLAND, Maine — The company that owns the salvage rights to the Titanic is undertaking its first expedition to the ship's wreckage in years, and those involved in the mission said they have both heavy hearts and lofty goals for a trip happening a year after a submersible disaster involving another firm killed five people.
