50 Images From The Titanic You Have To See To Believe

The Unsinkable Molly Brown

The Unsinkable Molly Brown was one of the most famous survivors of the Titanic; her story is a remarkable one of strength, compassion, and luck. After finding a place on Lifeboat No.6, the passenger, whose real name is Margaret Brown, tried to make her lifeboat return to the sight of the tragedy but she was ultimately unsuccessful because the others wouldn’t let her.

Her historical exploits inspired the production of a 1964 Broadway musical that was based on her life; a movie adaptation of her story was also made. She isn’t well known since a lot of what is known about the Titanic, for most, is from the movie, but had the people on her lifeboat listened, she could have saved some extra lives.
