About George:
George Tulloch, 1944 - 2004
George Harmon Tulloch, the former president of the company that holds salvage rights to the Titanic, died Saturday, Jan. 31, 2004, at St. Vincent's Hospital in Bridgeport, Conn., of complications of cancer.
Tulloch, 59, of Fairfield, Conn., was co-leader of five expeditions to recover artifacts from the wrecksite of the famous ship, which sank in the North Atlantic on April 15, 1912. He had been ousted from leadership of the salvage firm, RMS Titanic, Inc., in a hostile takeover in November 1999.
Tulloch was an original investor in Titanic Ventures Limited Partnership, the group that mounted the first salvage expedition in 1987. RMS Titanic, Inc., was the successor to Titanic Ventures. Titanic International Society served as consultant to several expeditions.
