Helen Melville Russell-Cooke

I logged on to your site earlier today via Philip Hinds Titanica site. I have
had an interest in the Titanic for around 25 years and
during that time have amassed a large collection of books , films etc .I am a
member of both the BTS and THS.
I am carrying out research into the life of Captain Smith's Daughter , Helen
Melville Russell-Cooke . In the long term I am
considering publishing a book on the impact the disaster had on a number of
people , either those directly involved and
who survived as well as relatives of those who did not.It occurred to me that
one person of interest might be this lady.
I have some information via the Titanica site and from a couple of articles in
the Commutator which give me the bare bones
of her life , which seems to have been a full and remarkable one . Given that
she only died in 1973 there may be someone
out there who met her and has recollections of her on thoughts on the disaster
and her father's role in it.I would be keen to
hear from anyone who has material on the life of Eleanor Smith , the Captain's
widow , subsequent to the disaster down to
her death in 1931. I am aware of the material on the Enchanted Titanic site on
the Smith family.
If anyone has any information , no matter how trivial , I would be pleased to
hear from them . If I do get published then I
would be very pleased to give due acknowledgement.

Scott, your best bet would be to contact the Southampton City Heritage
Services. Ask for Donald Hyslop. The City Heritage has a huge amount of
survivors' and victims' families information. They can be reached at
011-44-1703-339-601.

they ought to be!

Many thanks for the reply .Pardon my
ignorance but are you the author of
"Unsinkable"?
If you are I very much enjoyed your
retelling of the tale.

Yes, Scott. Guilty as charged: I did write "Unsinkable." And than you very
much for your comment.

Careful! You'll give him a swell head.
Oops, too late!
BTW, you probably would have enjoyed it even if
"this" Dan hadn't written it.
