On June 18, the submarine Titan left for deep waters for an expedition supposed to last eight hours to visit the wreck of the Titanic. Just two hours into the voyage, communication between the submersible and the surface vessel was lost. From there, concern grew hour by hour about the five passengers in the submarine. The vehicle could not be found for several days despite the great means employed by the authorities. Unfortunately, debris was found confirming that the passengers had not survived.

Paul-Henri Nargeolet is considered THE specialist around the titanic. On several occasions, the Frenchman dived to explore the wreck of the famous ocean liner. He was one of five passengers on the Titan. Close to the explorer, Patrick Lahey mentioned the high risks of this expedition and his friend’s opinion on this subject. “I told him in very frank terms why he shouldn’t be there. He understood. I think Paul-Henri somehow thought that by being there he could help those guys avoid a tragedy”said the expert in the marine industry.
Another friend of Paul-Henri Nargeolet spoke of his doubts before boarding. “He told me about the size of the porthole, the completely new nature of the hull, in carbon fiber with titanium elements. I asked him if he was not afraid because I found it all too new. He replied that he was skeptical like me and that he was intrigued to test this machine, which he had already tested elsewhere. But fear, no”, explained Michel L’Hour at the microphone of RTL.
A pet egg
During his trip, Paul-Henri Nargeolet wanted to take an extraordinary object with him. Indeed, Victor Vescovo confirmed that he was the “ideal travel companion” And “prank lover“. The proof ? “Mister Titanic” had taken an egg with him into the submarine. The goal? “Make it the deepest egg in the world”. Memorable until the end.
