0:00.0	Good evening from St. John's Newfoundland. A lot has occurred since we broadcast from here
0:08.1	last night at this time. In fact, right behind me, two of the ships involved in the search
0:12.1	for Ocean Gates' Titan submersible, the Canadian Coast Guard Vestal Terry Fox, and another
0:16.2	ship, the Scandi Vinland, have just now returned here to Port. This is them coming in just
0:20.8	a moment ago. The Canadian Coast Guard ship, Anne Harvey, is expected here within the next hour or so
0:26.2	in Titan's support ship. The Polar Prince is due back in here sometime in the overnight or early

1:20.0	objects. It means I'm a Pentagon official, Tel-Sy-Nens or Enliberman, that the Navy's deep ocean
1:24.8	salvage system, which only got here Wednesday, is being pulled out of the area as our other Navy
1:29.7	vessels and equipment. Naval personnel, however, will continue to assist the salvage operation
1:34.3	we're told. Also today, we learned far more about what Titanic Director and Deep Sea Explorer James
