Margaret
(Molly) Brown (July 18, 1867 – October 26, 1932) was an American socialite,
philanthropist, and activist who became famous due to her involvement with the
1912 sinking of the RMS Titanic, after exhorting the crew of lifeboat 6 to return
to look for survivors. It is unclear whether any survivors were found after lifeboat
6 returned to search. She became known after her death as “The Unsinkable
Molly Brown.” Although, she was not called Molly during her life - her friends
called her Maggie. |
