The 22-foot long (6.7-meter long), 23,000-pound (10,400-kilogram) Titan’s larger internal volume - while still cramped with a maximum of five seated people - meant it was subjected to more external pressure. By comparison, the Titan’s chamber was a larger, more elongated tube shape. It was touted for a design that included a carbon fiber composite hull and an elongated chamber for crew and passengers - a departure from more traditional spherical cabin areas and all-titanium construction.Įxperts say the cabin where people sit in most submersibles is spherical because water pressure is exerted equally on all areas. The Titan, owned and operated by OceanGate Expeditions, first began taking people to the Titanic in 2021.
