Mee Wendy Rush, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush Wife
Wendy Rush is the wife of OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush. Stockton who was an aerospace engineer for the McDonnell Douglas Corporation at the Edwards Air Force Base in California tied the knot with Wendy in July 1986 at the Vail (Colo.) Chapel in Colorado. The Rev. George B. Edgar, the bride’s great-uncle, performed the Presbyterian ceremony.
Stockton is the son of Ellen Davies Rush of San Francisco and Mr. Richard Stockton Rush Jr. of Westminster, Vermont. His father was the chairman of the Peregrine Oil and Gas Company in Burlingame, California, and the Natomas Company in San Francisco.
He is also the grandson of Mrs. Ralph K. Davies of San Francisco, for whom the Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall is named, and the late Mr. Davies, chairman of the American President Lines, and of Deborah Brock Rush of Philadelphia.
OceanGate, a privately held corporation with headquarters in Washington that offers submersibles for tourism, business, research, and exploration, was formed in 2009 by Stockton.
According to his OceanGate biography, Stockton Rush “is Chief Executive Officer and Founder (2009) of OceanGate Inc. Rush oversees OceanGate’s financial and engineering strategies and provides a clear vision for the development of 4,000 meters (13,123 feet) and 6,000 meters (19,685 feet) capable crewed submersibles and their partner launch and recovery platforms which make OceanGate Inc the leading provider of crewed submersibles for charter and scientific research.”
Stockton is situated in Seattle, according to his LinkedIn profile. In a speech before the GW Summit Power Talk, Stockton Rush stated that there are “folks who want to do high-end adventure tourism. We dove in numerous places.”
He referred to the lost submarine Titan as the “Queen of the Fleet.” The New York Times and CNN claim that recent safety problems at OceanGate have surfaced. A previous safety worry regarding OceanGate’s “experimental approach” was discussed in a Times article, and CNN noted that two former employees had also expressed concern about the sub.
“We’re looking at doing 24-hour missions where you can take a nap in the back,” Stockton said at a press conference. “We’re all about giving people access to the ocean — we’re not selling the sub.”
The company started making trips to the Titanic’s wreckage in the Atlantic Ocean in July 2021.
Stockton and four other passengers vanished on June 18, 2023, after a submersible from his business went missing during an expedition to the Titanic debris. At the time, an Oceangate spokesperson said in a statement: “For some time, we have been unable to establish communications with one of our submersible exploration vehicles which is currently visiting the wreck site of the Titanic. We pray for the safe return of the crew and passengers, and we will provide updates as they are available.”
