| book description |
In June 2023, OceanGate’s experimental Titan submersible went missing on a dive to the wreck of the Titanic. People around the world were transfixed, waiting for word of the sub’s passengers: its charismatic pilot, a legendary explorer, a billionaire businessman, and a father with his teenage son. Days later the horrifying news came: The sub had imploded, killing all five on board. In Deep End, Mark Ellis Harris combines heart-stopping narrative and rigorous reporting to tell the full story for the first time: how millionaire Stockton Rush, the maverick CEO of OceanGate, shouldered his way into the competitive world of deep-sea exploration; how he wowed investors with the promise of carbon-fiber subs to unlock the ocean depths for all; and how he prioritized thrift over safety, press over process, and ultimately glory over survival. Deep End is an unforgettable tale of high-seas adventure, technological folly, and innovation gone wrong.
