Son of the billionaire lost at sea during $250K/ticket submarine Titanic tour goes to Blink-182 while dad is still missing.
“It might be distasteful being here but my family would want me to be at the Blink-182 show as it’s my favorite band and music helps me in difficult times!♥️🙏🏽”
The French explorer has recovered 5,000 artefacts from the ship in his career and has even lifted a 20-tonne section of the ship’s hull for analysis.
He is the director of underwater research for RMS Titanic, Inc, and has appeared on numerous films and documentaries on the ship.
RMS Titanic Inc has said they send ‘our heartfelt support to the Boston Coast Guard during their search’ as well as hoping ‘for the safe return of all on board.’
PH, as he is known to friends, was born in Chamonix, in the French Alps, but spent his early years in Africa with his parents.
Nargeolet spent more than 20 years in the French Navy, becoming a Commander.
He then specialised in deep submersibles and in 1987 led the first recovery expedition of the Titanic. Inside the sub, that can only be opened from the outside, are five men – some illustrious adventurers, others are amongst the richest in the world.
Alongside Nargeolet on board the missing craft are British billionaire adventurer Hamish Harding, Shahzada Dawood, 48, a UK-based board member of the Prince’s Trust charity, and his son Sulaiman Dawood, 19, and OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush. Mathieu Johann, Nargeolet’s spokesman, told the BBC that he hoped the crew on board the missing submersible would be reassured by Nargeolet’s poise and military background as search-and-rescue teams continue to work in a race against time to locate the vessel.
Nargeolet is aboard the missing OceanGate Expeditions sub with passengers Hamish Harding, a British billionaire, British businessman Shahzada Dawood, and his son Suleman.
The Telegraph reported that Nargeolet was part of the first human expedition to visit the wreck site of the Titanic in 1987 after it was discovered two years earlier in an expedition led by oceanographer Robert Ballard.
