Graham Jessop (born 5 June 1957) is a British commercial diver and marine archaeologist who has taken part in a number of important expeditions such as the 1999 discovery of the remains of the RMS Carpathia off the coast of Ireland.[1] Jessop subsequently purchased the Carpathia, so as to control access and protect it from private scavengers.[2]
Along with his father, Keith Jessop, he recovered the approximately $85,000,000 of gold bullion from HMS Edinburgh in 1981.[3]
He was born in Yorkshire.
In 2000, RMS Titanic Inc. named Jessop as the recovery manager of the wreck of the Titanic.[4]
