While the rescue effort is ongoing, it is a significant global news event.

Rescue teams are making every effort to locate a submersible off the coast of Canada that transported paying passengers deep into the Atlantic to try to see the Titanic wreck.

Five people were aboard when it vanished, according to the US Coast Guard, who are also working on the effort.

Who was on board of Titanic tourist sub?

Two of the five passengers aboard the missing ship are Hamish Harding, a British entrepreneur and intrepid traveler, and his son. Action Aviation’s chairman is a 58-year-old who works in the aviation industry. The owner of three Guinness World Records, he has flown into space.

Along with businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, the submersible is thought to be operated by Stockton Rush, the chief executive of OceanGate, and French adventurer Paul-Henry Nargeolet.

Hamish Harding net worth

Harding’s actual worth is unclear, however it is believed that he is a billionaire. According to The Sun, he has two children, Rory and Giles, as well as Lauren, his stepdaughter, and Brian, his stepson.

In March 2021, when the two of them went into Challenger Deep, the deepest known location of the Earth’s ocean floor, they jointly set two records.

In June 2022, Harding had participated in Jeff Bezos’ fifth crewed space mission, NS-21.

“If there was a power failure and/or communication failure, this might have happened,” University College London Professor Alistair Greig told BBC Science Correspondent Pallab Ghosh. “The submersible would then be bobbing about on the surface waiting to be found.”
