Five souls tragically lost their lives while on board the Titan submersible, which was owned and operated by OceanGate Expeditions.
The sub was on a voyage to visit the 1912 Titanic shipwreck, offering a £200,000 per person tour to explore the deep sea.
Among the passengers were OceanGate’s CEO, Stockton Rush, Shahzada Dawood, Shahzada Dawood’s son Suleman Dawood, Hamish Harding, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet.
These individuals were described as true explorers with a passion for the oceans.
The fate of the submarine and its occupants was initially uncertain when news of its disappearance emerged.
Following the discovery of a debris field near the Titanic wreck, it was confirmed that all five passengers had perished.
The US Coast Guard subsequently recovered presumed human remains from the sea floor, adding to the tragedy of this ill-fated expedition.
Each passenger on board, including Stockton Rush, Hamish Harding, Shahzada Dawood, Sulaiman Dawood, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet, brought their expertise and passion for exploration to the voyage.
It is a somber moment as we reflect on the lives lost in this submarine expedition, and our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of these courageous individuals.
