My mother Grace Bailey Cooke told me long ago that her father went down on the Titanic. His name was Percy Bailey. A person by that name was listed as a 2nd class passenger. Her mother passed away a year later in NYC. My mother told me that she later worked for Elizabeth Arden in NYC, and also Prince Machabelli in NYC in the late 1930’s. She was married to Nealand Spencer Cooke and had a sister in NYC married to Robert Hoag and I believe resided on Kingsbridge Ave in the Bronx. Brian Cooke
About This Site
This website relates to the story of the Titanic. The Grand Ocean liner sank during its maiden journey on April 15, 1912. The death toll was 1523 of the 2228 passengers and crew members aboard. There were only 705 that survived. But there is more to the story of the Titanic than just the sinking. There is the connection people feel when they open their hearts to the event. Then there is also the Children of the Titanic, the people that are related to a person aboard the ship. In all reality anyone that feels connected in there heart to the Titanic somehow can be called a “Child of the Titanic”. So on that note! Welcome Aboard the Enchanted Titanic!
