Nelson and Alexandra spend an intriguing and revealing conversation with Dan Parkes, cinematographer and the author of a fascinating and meticulously researched book he wrote about Captain Smith of Titanic and the legacy his daughter lived with throughout her storied life - a pilot, a politician and married to a spy who died in suspicious circumstances...

This conversation could have spanned two Titanic Talk Episodes.  The telling of Helen Melville Russell Cooke's life (1898-1973) in Dan's book takes the shape of an edge-of-your-seat thriller. This book is a must-read for all Titanic enthusiasts looking for new and as yet uncovered human stories of the individuals effected by the Titanic tragedy.
