Inspired by a true story, this is a moving reimagining of loss, legacy and the fragile truth between memory and myth…
She was never meant to be a symbol, but the world made her one
In 1912, fourteen-year-old Helen ‘Melville’ Smith loses her father, Captain Edward J. Smith of the Titanic. In the decades that follow, she becomes the reluctant keeper of a story the world insists on telling for her: unlucky, cursed, tragic.
Sixty years later, Oxford academic Catherine Haynes discovers a mislabelled portrait and a trail of forgotten papers that lead her to the woman behind the myth.
In a series of interviews, Mel recounts the truth behind the headlines – the quiet rebellions, the dangerous loves, the secrets she burned, and the one fragment of her past she refuses to let go…
Daughter of the Titanic is the story of a woman the world tried to define – and the extraordinary life she built beyond the wreckage
