Along with being a faithful husband, the OceanGate CEO is a father. It appears from Wendy’s Facebook that she and Stockton have a son and a daughter, yet no news organizations have confirmed this. His children’s names, ages, and other information remain unknown at this time.
The descendant of a couple who perished in the very shipwreck his team sought to view is married to the OceanGate executive who was operating the submersible on the disastrous Sunday dive.
Isidor and Ida Straus, who opted to stay on the sinking Titanic together so that others could escape to safety in their stead, are the great-great-grandparents of OceanGate founder and CEO Stockton Rush and his wife Wendy.
They served as the real-life model for James Cameron’s movie’s tragic sequence with an elderly couple cuddling as water pours into their chamber.
According to her LinkedIn profile, OceanGate’s head of communications has been involved with the company’s Titanic excursions ever since they started in 2021. Additionally, she is descended directly from Minnie Weil, one of the Straus family’s seven children.
The Straus Historical Society, a nonprofit educational organization, confirmed the relationship in an email to NPR on Thursday after it was first reported by the New York Times and discovered through genealogy records.
