“The Unsinkable Molly Brown”,

Presented by Jennings Center for Older Adults at Jennings

Margaret “Maggie” Brown, also known as “The Unsinkable Molly Brown”, was an American socialite and philanthropist. She is best remembered for encouraging the crew in Lifeboat No. 6 to return to the debris field of the 1912 sinking of the RMS Titanic to look for survivors. Accounts differ on whether the boat actually returned to look for survivors, and if so, whether any survivors were found. During her lifetime, her friends called her “Maggie”, but even by her death, obituaries referred to her as the “Unsinkable Molly Brown”. The reference was further reinforced by a 1960 Broadway musical based on her life and its 1964 film adaptation which were both entitled “The Unsinkable Molly Brown”.
