Experts are now telling the New York Times that Titan had no dedicated mothership and it may have been damaged after being towed through rough North Atlantic waters by a smaller chartered vessel — the Polar Prince.

Wiessman wrote a Travel Weekly column that told a tale of a “near-disaster for the sub and platform.”
“At the end of the rope that linked the stern of the ship to the platform, we saw that the front of the platform and the sub were underwater,” he wrote.
Asked if towing Titan risked damage, a company spokesperson told the Times:“OceanGate is unable to provide any additional information at this time.”
The Titan disappeared less than two hours into its June 18 descent to the Titanic wreckage and three Brits — Hamish Harding, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleiman Dawood — along with OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, and French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet — all died on board.
