This week, I meet my first Titanic descendent (silent scream of excitement!), Simon Medhurst. Simon is the Great Grandson of Titanic Quartermaster Robert Hitchens Helmsman, otherwise known as “The Man Who Sank the Titanic” and who was famously portrayed in lifeboat #6 with Margaret Brown in the 1997 film. Listen in as Simon graciously shares his family story and we set the record straight on Roberts life.
