Those on board have been identified as British billionaire Hamish Harding, British businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman, former French Navy diver Paul-Henry Nargeolet, and chief executive of OceanGate (the company running the voyage) Stockton Rush.
The Dawood family told the BBC in a statement that the father-son duo were interested in “exploring different natural habitats.” The family has urged “everyone to pray for their safety.”
Paul-Henry is considered a Titanic expert and has reportedly been to the wreckage site more times than anyone else in history.
If you didn’t see, Hamish‘s good friend revealed the last text he sent him just before the expedition was underway.
