Nargeolet took over three-dozen trips to the Titanic wreck site throughout his life before boarding one final vessel, the OceanGate Expeditions Titan submersible.
Titanic explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet — one of five passengers aboard the doomed Titan submersible — reportedly lived in a small Dutchess County town in New York.
The Titanic — hailed as “unsinkable’ before it dropped to the bottom of the ocean in 1912 — lost more than 1,500 passengers after ramming into an iceberg 450 miles off the coast of Newfoundland.

He and four others — Sulaiman Dawood, 19; his business tycoon father Shahzada, 48; British billionaire Hamish Harding, 58, and OceanGate founder and CEO Stockton Rush, 61 — were on the Titan June 18 en route to the historic site.
