Noted adventurer Hamish Harding is among those aboard a high-tech diving craft carrying five people to document the wreckage of the Titanic that disappeared over the weekend in the North Atlantic, his company confirmed Monday.
Action Aviation, for which the Dubai-based businessman, aviator, explorer and space tourist serves as chairman, said the submersible set out Friday and had a 96-hour oxygen supply starting at roughly 6 a.m. Sunday.
Harding holds three Guinness World Records, including longest duration at full ocean depth by a crewed vessel. In March 2021, he and ocean explorer Victor Vescovo dived to the lowest depth of the Mariana Trench. In June 2022, he blasted into space on Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket. The submersible craft was reported overdue Sunday night about 435 miles south of St. John’s, Newfoundland.
Harding said in an Instagram post over the weekend that the voyage was likely to be the only manned mission to the Titanic in 2023 “Due to the worst winter in Newfoundland in 40 years.”
