One of the people on board the missing submarine that was transporting tourists to the Titanic wreck has been identified as HAMISH Harding.
However, who is the British man, age 58, and what happened to him? What is known is listed below.
Who is Hamish Harding?
British businessman, pilot, and space traveler Hamish Harding.
He owns Action Aviation, a company that offers both commercial and private aircraft, and is based in the UAE.
He has set several Guinness World Records as an explorer and space tourist.
These result from his flights orbiting the Earth in 2019 and delving to a depth of 36,000 feet in the Mariana Trench in 2021.
With both polls, he flew a Gulfstream G650ER across the globe in under 46 hours, 40 minutes, and 22 seconds.
In 2022, Harding received the same honor as Tom Cruise and fellow businessman Kenn Ricci as a Living Legend of Aviation.
In the past year, he has traveled to space with Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin business.
When did Hamish Harding go missing and what happened?
Harding was one of five people that vanished on June 19, 2023, while traveling on a submarine that was exploring the RMS Titanic debris in the North Atlantic Ocean.
Harding enthusiastically shared on social media that she had been there the day prior.
He said a “window” had opened up that would allow the group to dive.
The post read: “A weather window has just opened up and we are going to attempt a dive tomorrow.
“Until then we have a lot of preparations and briefings to do.”
Harding’s stepson confirmed he had gone missing shortly after the sub was reported to have vanished.
Is Hamish Harding married?
Action Aviation states that Hamish is married to Linda and has two boys, Rorry and Giles, as well as Lauren, a stepdaughter.
“Thoughts and prayers for my stepfather Hamish Harding as his submarine has gone missing exploring Titanic,” wrote his stepson Brian Szasz on Facebook.
“Search and rescue mission is underway.
“Thoughts and prayers for my mom and Hamish Harding.”
