Home of ‘Mr. Titanic’ Paul-Henri Nargeolet hits the market — 8 months after sub tragedy

The last home of the late Paul-Henri Nargeolet, the deep-sea explorer who tragically died in the June 2023 Titan submersible accident, has just gone up for sale for $1.7 million.

Known as “Mr. Titanic,” Nargeolet had purchased the 2.74-acre property in January 2022 for $1.5 million. Located at 1018 Route 292 on the private Whaley Lake in Dutchess County, NY, the four-bedroom, four-bath, custom-built house sports 515 feet of sparkling lakefront along with a beach, dock, and shady deck.

“He spent his life on the water, so I imagine he’d wanted to look out on it,” says co-listing agent Regan Andrews, of Houlihan Lawrence Brewster, in an exclusive interview with Realtor.com®.

“He loved this house because it was on the water.” With the explorer’s untimely death, the inheritors of his estate felt it was finally time to sell.
