Join me a I talk with Simon Medhurst, who found out just about 10 year ago that he's actually the great-grandson of Titanic Quartermaster Robert Hichens. Hichens is quite the controversial figure in the ship's mythology, and Medhurst has been on a wild personal ride of discovery and reconciliation while also becoming an important voice in the online Titanic community.
