after a survivor of The Titanic tragedy.

Margaret "Maggie" Brown (née Tobin) (July 18, 1867 – October 26, 1932) (posthumously known as "The Unsinkable Molly Brown&quot , was an American socialite, philanthropist, and activist. She became famous when, after surviving the 1912 sinking of the RMS Titanic in Lifeboat No. 6, she exhorted the crew to return to the capsize site to look for survivors. It is unclear whether the boat actually returned to look for survivors, and if so, if any survivors were found. During her lifetime, her friends called her "Maggie", but after her death, a 1960 Broadway musical based on her life and its 1964 film adaptation were each entitled The Unsinkable Molly Brown.
