If the Titan story fascinates you - https://titandives.com/ - consider getting my book. The Discovery and Netflix films were "docu-dramas" that beat on Stockton but left out all the details about the second hull and why it was destined to fail. My book fills in all the blanks for you. https://titandives.com/
In this video, I tell a story about how the layers of the OceanGate Titan hull ended up having hundreds of ill-advised grind spots, potentially weakening the hull. This issue is not talked about.
