Graham Jessop (5 June 1957 – 1 November 2012) was 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]
