Mysterious “large object” detected near Titanic wreck finally identified

OceanGate Expeditions has been sending crews in a submersible to document the condition of Titanic since last year

Newsroom October 27 03:25

An unexpected sonar “blip” first detected in 1998 near the wreck of the Titanic has finally been identified.

“We didn’t know what we would discover,” veteran explorer PH Nargeolet, who first spotted the blip, said in a news release. “On the sonar, this could have been any number of things including the potential of it being another shipwreck. I’ve been seeking the chance to explore this large object that appeared on sonar so long ago.”

OceanGate Expeditions has been sending crews in a submersible to document the condition of Titanic since last year. During one of this year’s trips, a team that included Nargeolet ― who has been diving to the site for some 30 years ― checked out the anomaly near the legendary wreck.
