Margaret Brown (née Tobin; July 18, 1867 – October 26, 1932), posthumously known as the "Unsinkable Molly Brown", was an American socialite and philanthropist. She was a survivor of the RMS Titanic, which sank in 1912, and she unsuccessfully urged the crew in Lifeboat No. 6 to return to the debris field to look for survivors.[1]
During her lifetime, her friends called her "Maggie", but by her death, obituaries referred to her as the "Unsinkable Mrs. Brown".[2] Gene Fowler referred to her as "Molly Brown" in his 1933 book Timberline.[3] The following year, she was referred to as the "Unsinkable Mrs. Brown" and "Molly Brown" in newspapers.[4]
