April 15, 1912: Molly Brown avoids sinking with Titanic

95 years ago this night, a 20th century version of the strong and resourceful women of the Wild West, Molly Brown won lasting fame by surviving the sinking of Titanic.

Molly Brown was an unlikely candidate for fame and fortune. Born Margaret Tobin in 1867 in Hannibal, Missouri, she was the daughter of an impoverished ditch-digger.

When she was a teenager, she went west and joined her brother, who was working in the booming silver mining town of Leadville, Colorado. She caught the eye of James J. Brown, the manager of a local silver mine, and the couple married in 1886.

Not long after the marriage, James J. Brown discovered a fabulously profitable deposit of gold. Almost overnight, the Browns became enormously rich. The couple moved to Denver, bought a beautiful mansion, and the nouveaux riche couple tried unsuccessfully to become a part of the exclusive high society of the city.

The Brown Mansion in Denver

A flamboyant woman with a forceful personality, Molly appears to have been too much for Denver's bluebloods to handle. Apparently, she was also more than her husband could handle, and the couple soon separated.

Supported by a sizeable income from her estranged husband, Brown abandoned the narrow social life of Denver to travel the world. Whereas the Denver elite had dismissed her as a coarse upstart, socially prominent eastern families like the Astors and Vanderbilts prized her frank western manners and her thrilling stories of frontier life. IOW, they found her interesting and adopted her as a rather like one would adopt an interesting pet.

Molly's cabins aboard Titanic

Brown's rise to national fame began on this night in 1912, while she was aboard the Titanic, returning from a European trip. After the ship hit an iceberg and began to sink, Brown was tossed into a lifeboat. She took command of the little boat and helped rescue a drowning sailor and other victims. To keep spirits up, she regaled the anxious survivors with stories of her life in the Old West.

Launch of MOLLY BROWN, March 23, 1965, Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom & John W. Young (4 hr, 52 min, 31 sec) First manned Gemini flight, three orbits. Named for Mrs Brown and perhaps an allusion to the fact years earler, Gus Grissom's Mercury capsule had sunk in the Pacific recovery area when Gus blew the hatch prematurely

When newspapers later learned of Brown's courageous actions, they promptly dubbed her "the unsinkable Mrs. Brown" and she became an international heroine. Eventually, Brown's money ran out and she faded from the public view, dying in modest circumstances in New York City in 1932. However, the Broadway musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown revived her fame for a new generation in 1960.

I'm always puzzled by the "old money" vs. "new money" things that go on with the other half. Snobbery is weird like that.

Welcome to the Unfastened Coins website. This site is dedicated to exposing the truth about the government's involvement in the sinking of the Titanic. Specifically, that they did it (and by "they" I mean Jews). I created this documentary to spread the truth about the government coverup in Oklahoma, Waco, New York Middle East the North Atlantic.
I'm just a kid with a laptop who discovered the truth, but I encourage you to do your own research and come to your own conclusions based on my premise that the government is lying to you and that your disagreement with said premise constitutes your admission of being a sheep. I suggest starting with my video:

[/URL] Still not convinced?

As of this writing, there are only two living survivors of the Titanic, and both of them claim to have been babies and too young to remember what happened. HOW CONVENIENT!!!

Even though some of the world's richest and most famous passengers were on the ship, not a single video was made of the Titanic sinking. HOW CONVENIENT!!!

Abraham Lincoln dies the exact same day the Titanic sinks, except 47 years prior! The Titanic had the capacity to carry 3,547 passengers aboard! They both have 47!!!! COINCIDENCE???
When will you sheeple realize that you're being lied to? How many amateur documentaries must be made using stock footage before you believe that we're important?

I'm giving that a rest...although you are correct that the only man in America who intended to ease the South's "reconstruction" burden and "let them up easy" died of a wound inflicted by a POS drunken actor on this day in 1865.;)

Da-yum. Daddy needs to take that kid's laptop and smack him over the head with it.

Would be interesting to see the various and sundry conclusions he'd come to on 9/11.

More Truth: An iceberg was blamed for sinking the Titanic. Yeah right. Do they expect us to believe that ice--which is frozen water--is stronger than metal--the stuff they make swords out of? If icebergs are really that tough, then why don't people make boats out of icebergs instead?

http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/images/af07/iceberg_ship.jpg I'll tell you why: because the government is a liar!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still not convinced? Here's the smoking gun. (http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=af07_smoking_gun)

Also, I didn't like the movie because I thought it was a VERY thinly veiled propaganda piece in support of the proletariat in am ongoing effort to assault the wealthy and spark class warfare.

Um, that was from the same guy that has the "I am so much better than your kids" page, where he makes fun of art drawn by 5 year olds. Which is hilarious and mean. :D
