Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, died when the Titan submersible descended into deep North Atlantic waters on June 18 to explore the Titanic — something Nargeolet had done dozens of times before.
The event, which was streamed live on Facebook, began with a video montage of Nargeolet and his accomplishments that showed him embarking on the first archeological mission to the site more than three decades ago. The presentation included his work to recover “the Big Piece,” a 17-ton section of the Titanic’s shell plating recovered in 1998.
“PH was a giant of a man, and an inspiration in and of himself,” Sanders said. “To listen to him tell a story was to be in the story itself.” “Like me, he loved being on the water and messing around in small boats,” Golden said. “We laughed. We laughed a lot. PH never lost that inquisitive mind that made him so special ... He was constantly seeking knowledge about the Titanic. He always had time for others, especially the next generation of explorers.”
Hundreds watched the memorial online, with several welcoming the chance for lovers of the Titanic to gather and mourn the loss of Nargeolet. Nargeolet was the director of underwater research for RMS Titanic Inc., an Atlanta-based company that owns the salvage rights for the world’s most famous shipwreck. His memorial service took place a day after the company opened an exhibit in Paris showcasing thousands of artifacts from the Titanic's debris field.
Nargeolet was a former French navy officer who has been remembered by friends as one of the world's great undersea explorers.
