The U.S. Coast Guard recovered more debris from the Titan sub wreckage including what are believed to be human remains.
The Coast Guard said that the recovery and transfer of remaining parts was completed last Wednesday, and released a photo showing the intact titanium endcap of the 22ft vessel.
Additional presumed human remains were carefully recovered from within Titan´s debris and transported for analysis by medics, the Coast Guard said.
The salvage mission, conducted under an agreement with the U.S. Navy, was a follow-up to initial recovery operations on the ocean floor roughly 1,600 feet away from the Titanic.
The new materials were offloaded at an unnamed port.
The U.S. Coast Guard announced that they recovered presumed human remains along with parts of the Titan after the debris field was located at a depth of 12,500ft (3,800 meters)

The Coast Guard previously said it recovered presumed human remains along with parts of the Titan after the debris field was located at a depth of 12,500 feet.
Investigators believe the Titan imploded as it made its descent into deep North Atlantic waters on June 18.
The Coast Guard’s Marine Board of Investigation said investigators from the US National Transportation Safety Board and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada joined the salvage expedition, and the Coast Guard is coordinating with international investigative agencies to schedule a joint review of the evidence to determine the next steps for forensic testing.
The Marine Board of Investigation, meanwhile, will continue its analysis and witness interviews ahead of a public hearing on the tragedy, officials said Tuesday.
The doomed Titan submersible disappeared during a tourist trip run by OceanGate Expeditions which has since gone out of business.
After a nail-biting search for the vessel it was announced a few days after the mysterious disappearance that the five passengers on board were killed instantly when the submersible suffered a ‘catastrophic implosion’ just 1,600ft from the bow of the wrecked ocean liner.
The victims were OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, French Navy veteran Paul-Henri (PH) Nargeolet, British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, who was just 19.
Some of the men had paid as much as $250,000 each to see the famous shipwreck.
After a huge search and rescue mission, debris was discovered on the seabed and it was revealed that the sub had suffered the ‘catastrophic implosion’.
Safety fears were repeatedly raised by experts who said the vessel was not suitable for the deep waters it traveled to.
Critics said its carbon fiber hull was not fit for purpose and also raised concerns about its viewport, which was not certified to such depths.
The Coast Guard said it had created a marine board of investigation (MBI), its highest level of probe.

A previous discovery in June found debris from the Titan submersible which was hauled ashore. The huge chunks of metal included the nose with the porthole the five men would have used to see the Titanic
A previous discovery June found debris from the Titan submersible which was hauled ashore.
The huge chunks of metal, including the nose with the porthole the five men would have used to see the Titanic, were unloaded from the Horizon Arctic ship at the Canadian Coast Guard pier in St John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, this morning.
They were quickly covered in large tarpaulins before being lifted by cranes on to trucks that took them away for assessment. The pieces included a large, white section of curved metal. Another object was full of cables and other mechanical parts.
