Sons of Titan sub crewmember Hamish Harding remember adventurer as ‘loving father’

The sons of late British businessman and adventurer Hamish Harding remembered their father as a ‘loving’ man with a ‘larger-than-life presence.’ 

Harding, the billionaire founder of Action Aviation, a UAE-based international aircraft brokerage company, was one of five crewmen who perished aboard OceanGate Expedition’s Titan submersible on an ill-fated voyage to see the Titanic wreckage. He and the others died when the submersible suffered a ‘catastrophic implosion’ shortly after the craft descended to the Titanic, the U.S. Coast Guard said. 

Action Aviation released statements from Harding’s sons giving tribute to their father on social media. 

‘My dad was a tenacious, hard-working businessman but most importantly he was the best father I could have ever asked for,’ said one son. ‘He inspired me more than anyone will ever know, taught me things I’ll never forget, and he meant everything to me. Anyone who ever met my dad will praise his humorous personality, his sheer work ethic, and his constant generosity. My life will be a success if I’m even half the man he is. My dad is gone but I will never forget him.’

The other son praised his father as an ‘avid adventurer, a loving father, family man and a determined and tireless businessman.’ 

‘In all of these areas, he constantly sought to be the best man he could be and did nothing half-way. Constantly full of wisdom and life advice to bestow, he made my brother and I into the people we are today. He was an energetic and charismatic man who by the sheer weight of his personality lifted up and supported everyone around him. His tragic loss will be mourned not only by myself and my family but everyone who had the pleasure to meet him. The world is so much less without his larger-than-life presence and his optimistic spirit.’

Harding was one of five crew members aboard the Titan sub when it lost contact with its surface vessel, the Polar Prince, around one hour and 45 minutes into its dive Sunday morning, about 900 miles east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and around 400 miles southeast of St John’s, in Canada’s Newfoundland.

The other passengers were OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, father-and-son Shahzada and Suleman Dawood, who are members of one of Pakistan’s wealthiest families; and Paul-Henry Nargeolet, a former French navy officer and leading Titanic expert.

The sub’s disappearance led to an international search and rescue effort that lasted for days before authorities found the remains of the sub using a robotic vehicle. 

‘The debris is consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber. Upon this determination, we immediately notified the families,’ U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger told reporters Thursday. ‘On behalf of the United States Coast Guard and the entire unified command, I offer my deepest condolences to the families.’
