No you're right in saying she's Unsinkable, however she was never referred to as that until after her death I believe. And as for the Titanic she was Margaret or "Maggie" for short

so am i incorrect saying why she got the name unsinkable? That you for that it was very interesting

Molly Brown never got the name "Molly" until after her death in 1932. she was simly known as Margaret Brown. the name "unsinkable Molly Brown was a Hollywood invention. here is an extract from her biography on ET:

"The story began in the 1930s with the colorful pen of Denver Post reporter Gene Fowler, who created a folk tale, and sensationalist writer Carolyn Bancroft, who wrote a highly fictional account for a romance magazine that was turned into a booklet. This story enjoyed various radio broadcasts during the 1940s and was the basis for the Broadway play, "The Unsinkable Molly Brown", which eventually became the MGM movie of the same name, starring Debbie Reynolds. Even James Cameron's 1997 film "Titanic" has very little to do with the real story of Margaret Tobin Brown. After attempting to mitigate or correct the legend of "Molly," the Brown family eventually withdrew from the public and refused to speak with writers, reporters, or historians. Only recently have they agreed to cooperate with the efforts of a historian, Kristen Iversen, and allowed access to letters, scrapbooks, photographs, and many personal effects of Margaret Tobin Brown that had previously been unavailable. The first full-length biography of Margaret Tobin Brown was published in June, 1999."

At last a question that i know the answer to. Molly Brown got the name unsinkable Molly Brown because while on the life boat peoples spirits were down and Molly maneged to lift them with her bubble personallity. From the life rafts they could hear squeals coming from the sea as titanic disapeared into the deep she wanted to go back and pick up the people saying thats are men folk out there but she was told to shout the F**k up and sit down and be quite or they would through her over board.

yea, you'd think they would..it would make sence....but..you can look at the date when someone posts somethin on this board....it's right above the post they make....I'm sure that made no sence at all, but look around on the page...you'll see the date posts were made.

I wasn't a member in May so I didn't kno that. :o Plus, U'd think they would delete the boards that aren't being used anymore.

Well, considering the origianl post was made back in May, I don't think anymore posting about what this young lady should write about will do any good. But...just for the sake of argument...I agree with Rosie. Ismay is by no means a hero of that night.

how about the Capt. Arthur Roston of the Carpathia? He did save 6 people that went down w/ Titanic?

Ismay in my opinion is hardly a hero of Titanic.. more like a coward in my eyes.

Wallace Hartley and the band. Isador and Ida Strauss are another wonderful couple, while neither of them survived their story is fasinating, her refusing a seat to stay with her husband. The firemen and engineers who kept the ship going as long as possible..The postal workers who tried to get the mail to a higher level of the ship and lost their lives saving the mail.. Harold Bride and Jack Phillips..There's SO many to choose from..
