The search for the missing Titan submersible is still underway. The vessel, with five passengers onboard, went missing on June 18 while on its way to the wreckage site of the Titanic. Operated by OceanGate, Titan is reportedly a 23,000 pounds vessel made of fibre and titanium that begins each trip with 96 hours of life support. A Redditor recently shared a series of unseen images of the vessel that they took a few years ago.
