Don Lynch is a historian with the Titanic Historical Society. He
co-authored the book 'Titanic: An Illustrated History' in 1992 with
Ken Marschall, who he has collaborated with for over thirty years. Lynch has
an extensive collection of Titanic memorabilia and even more extensive
knowledge of the subject. He has collaborated with several other
authors and documentary filmmakers as a consultant and archival
material supplier, and also assisted James Cameron during the
production of the film Titanic (1997). He appears, uncredited, in the
film as passenger Frederick Spedden in two scenes. First, he watches
his character's son spin a top on the boat deck. Just after the crash,
he tosses a chunk of ice to another first class passenger. During his
years of research, Lynch has also become acquainted with survivors of
the Titanic and their families and descendants, and has also assisted
with expeditions to the ship's resting place.
