NEW YORK — Hamish Harding, one of the five people aboard a submersible missing near the Titanic wreck, is no stranger to exploration.
Harding circumnavigated the Earth in 2019. He made a dive in 2021 to the deepest point on earth, Challenger Deep, in the Mariana Trench. And he traveled into space last year aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard.
The submersible, which last pinged in a location close to the Titanic wreck, was designed with life support to sustain five crew members for 96 hours.Harding, a British businessman and chairman of Action Aviation, previewed his dive to see the Titanic shipwreck in a Facebook post. Along with his ocean dives and blasting off to space, he's helped with"the reintroduction of Cheetahs from Namibia to India" and"has been to the South Pole a number of times," the company said. Harding was inducted in 2022 as a Living Legend of Aviation.
