The Polar Prince, the ship from which the submersible was launched, is of Canadian registry and based out of Canada. Both the United States Senate and the British Board of Trade led investigations into the loss of the ocean liner. The United States has not even ratified the U.N. convention. Meaning that if Titan was launched from a Canadian ship, from a Canadian port, Canada has jurisdiction. At present, it’s unclear which country has jurisdiction in the Titan investigation, as the craft was reportedly built in the United States but launched from a Canadian vessel.
