Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Hamish Harding, Stockton Rush, Shahzada Dawood, and Suleman Dawood were the five-man crew of the Titan submersible, which was believed to have imploded this week during its voyage.
Stockton Rush was also the descendant of prolific 18th-century writer Annis Stockton.
Wendy Rush is the wife of OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, a descendant of a couple who died on the Titanic, and the Director of Communications for the subermersible company.
On board the submersible were the founder of the company that operates the vessel; a British businessman and explorer; a British father and teenage son from a prominent Pakistani family; and a French maritime expert.
A lifelong adventure seeker, Mr. Rush said he took on the risk of deepwater travel because the “ocean is the universe. That’s where life is.”
