His name can be found everywhere in the press today: Stockton Rush, boss of Oceangate, is currently being undermined by the disappearance of the Titan underwater expedition capsule. Having dismissed a manager who had warned of the risks of this expedition, many people are now pointing the finger at the responsibility of the boss of Oceagate.
Wondering where this particular interest in the Titanic came from, the New York Times decided to look into the genealogy of the family of the founder of Oceangate. And surprise, the wife of Stockton Rush turns out to be a descendant of two victims of the sinking of the Titanic.
Wendy Rush is indeed the great-great-granddaughter of Isidor Straus and Ida. They were the two richest people on board the famous ship, Isidor being a retail magnate, co-owner of Macy’s stores, a brand still famous today. The couple even had the right to appear in James Cameron’s film, which paid them a beautiful tribute. The couple are pictured embracing in a bed, sinking into freezing Atlantic waters following refusing to board a lifeboat. If it’s probably not true to history but still a nice nod to the couple.
Wendy Rush has accompanied three OceanGate expeditions to visit the famous wreck and today serves as the company’s director of communications.
