The Unsinkable Molly Brown | 30 James Street
Margaret Molly Brown was born on 18 July 1867 in Hannibal, Missouri, in the United States.
Her mother and father were both Irish immigrants and had four children together, as well as one child each from previous marriages, from which they had both been widowed.
Molly stripped tobacco leaves until the age of eighteen, when she and her sister established a blacksmith shop.
In 1886, Molly Brown married James Joseph, whose parents were also Irish immigrants and they had two children together.
Whilst travelling in 1914, Molly learnt her grandchild had been taken ill, and so boarded the next available ship to New York, which happened to be the RMS Titanic.
Molly had led a successful career by the time she boarded the ship, and was an advocate for women's rights throughout her life.
Her acts onboard the Titanic earned her the nickname The Unsinkable Molly Brown, as she helped many onto lifeboats on the night of the ship sinking, before being forced to board lifeboat six. She was also commended for boosting morale, as well as acting as a translator due to speaking several languages.
Molly died at the age of 65 of a brain tumour in New York City.

Mark Twain's Hannibal, Missouri
Mark Twain - born Samuel Clemens - was the famous writer, humorist and newspaper man who wrote numerous books and stories including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
He was born in a small house in the town of Florida, Missouri, and was raised nearby in Hannibal, Missouri. It was here that he apprenticed as a typesetter and began contributing to the local newspaper.
As an adult he traveled widely, but his time in Hannibal provided inspiration for his most famous works.
Today Hannibal preserves a number of sites associated with Mark Twain and his family, and visiors can learn more about him at the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum.
If you visit Hamilton, you may also want to visit the Molly Brown Birthplace and Museum. The Unsinkable Molly Brown of course survived the sinking of the Titanic.

The Unsinkable Molly Brown (Photoshop Restoration)
PRINTS NOW AVAILABLE!
Piano / flute version of A St. Patrick's Day Poem now available on iTunes!
Mrs. Margaret J. Tobin - Brown was never called Molly, as legend would suggest. Two writers by the name of Gene Fowler and Carolyn Bancroft created a romantic and highly fictionalized story between them which was played on numerous radio broadcasts during the 1940's and became the basis for the Broadway play, The Unsinkable Molly Brown, which was later turned into a movie of the same name starring Debbie Reynolds. Little of Margaret Brown's actual legacy has survived her own myth, and her family has long since stopped trying to set the records straight against the continual circulation of misinformation regarding Margaret's life.
She was born Margaret Tobin on July 18, 1867 in Hannibal, Missouri, U.S.A., the daughter of Irish immigrants John Tobin and Johanna Collins. In her youth, she learned to steer a boat on the Mississippi River...a skill she little could have guessed would come to her advantage later in life. Her husband struck it rich in the mines of Leadville in 1890, which bought them a 16-room house on 1340 Pennsylvania St. which is now a Victorian museum.
Margaret was involved in the early feminist movement in Leadville and the establishment of the Colorado Chapter of the National American Women's Suffrage Association. She was also one of the first women in the United States to run for public office, and ran for the Senate eight years before women even had the right to vote. At the time of the Titanic's first and last voyage, Margaret and her daughter Helen had been traveling all over Europe when Margaret got work that her first grandchild, Lawrence Palmer Brown, Jr., was very ill. On the fly, she decided to leave for New York immediately, and bought tickets for the earliest ship due to sail: TITANIC. Her daughter Helen stayed behind.
It has been said that when Titanic hit the iceberg, Margaret assisted others in boarding their lifeboats until she herself was forced to board lifeboat six. She, along with the others in the boat, worked together to row and keep spirits up amidst all the disaster. When rescued by the ship Carpathia, Margaret was right there, helping the survivors of the Titanic get on board. She continued her assistance once Carpathia docked at New York to get the survivors onto dry land. She had also established the Survivor's Committee before disembarking Carpathia, where she was elected chairwoman and in such capacity helped raise nearly $10,000 for destitute survivors. Her multilingual skills which included French, German, and Russian were invaluable among passengers who did not speak much English, and she stayed on Carpathia until all of the Titanic survivors had been attended to and dispersed.
In a letter to her daughter shortly after the Titanic sinking, she wrote: After being brined, salted, and pickled in mid ocean I am now high and dry... I have had flowers, letters, telegrams-people until I am befuddled. They are petitioning Congress to give me a medal... If I must call a specialist to examine my head it is due to the title of Heroine of the Titanic.
*Margaret was not allowed to testify at the Titanic hearings because she, as a woman, was not allowed to. This did not prevent her, however, from publishing her account of the tragedy in newspapers spanning from Denver to New York to Paris.
*Margaret Brown died from a brain tumor on October 26, 1932, and was buried in Long Island's Holy Rood Cemetery next to her husband.
*The first full biography of Margaret Tobin Brown was published in June, 1999.
*James Cameron's film Titanic in 1997 didn't really touch upon Margaret's true story, preferring instead to allude to her legend rather than her actual achievements.
*Margaret was 44 years old at the time of the Titanic sinking.
*This particular photo was made more difficult by the fact that someone at some point had tried to pen in the missing details of Margaret's left side, but apparently was not a skilled artist when they attempted it. The harshly drawn lines had to be removed before any other work could be done.

Historic, Queen Anne, Molly Brown House
Margaret "Molly" Tobin Brown was born in Hannibal, Missouri to working class
Irish parents. Known as Margaret or Maggie, never Molly, she moved to Leadville,
Colorado when she was 18. There she met and married James Joseph "J.J." Brown,
also from a working class Irish family. In 1893, J.J. discovered the largest and
purest vein of gold and copper ore known at that time. The Browns moved to
Denver where they purchased the house at 1340 Pennsylvania in the fashionable
Capitol Hill neighborhood for $30,000 from Isaac and Mary Large. Margaret owned
the home until her death in 1932. It was here that she returned after surviving the
sinking of the Titanic and earning her nickname "Unsinkable".
Between 1932 and 1970, the house had five different owners. Each converted the
original fourteen-room home into an apartment building or boarding house. Ceilings
were lowered, rooms were subdivided and more kitchens and bathrooms were
added. In 1970 the home was owned by Art Leisenring. Mr. Leisenring leased the
building to the City and County of Denver for use as a "home for wayward girls".
He noticed, however, that most of the single-family buildings on Capitol Hill were
being demolished or converted into office buildings. Mr. Leisenring helped form
Historic Denver, Inc. for the express purpose of saving the Molly Brown House
from this fate in the future. The house was lovingly restored to its original floorplan
and decorations of 1910. The Molly Brown House Museum opened its doors to the
public in 1971 and sees more than 45,000 visitors each year. Today, Historic
Denver is one of the country's largest, private preservation organizations. In
addition to running the Molly Brown House Museum, Historic Denver is credited
with successfully lobbying for historic landmark designations for numerous
neighborhoods and buildings in the Denver area.
The Molly Brown House was built with both Manitou sandstone and rusticated
Castle Rock rhyolite. It is one of the few buildings known to combine these two
stones. The Queen Anne style is tempered by Romanesque Revival arches and
rusticated stonework. Other common elements of the Queen Anne style are the four
stained glass windows, wraparound porch and balconies.

630 FEET ABOVE ST. LOUIS | Gateway Arch Museum & Gateway Arch National Park
We did a Midwest road trip, starting in Atlanta, Georgia. Our first stop was St. Louis, Missouri, when we spent the whole day exploring Gateway Arch National Park, as well as the Gateway Arch Museum. And we also rode the famous ride up the Gateway Arch elevator to the top of the Arch!
We also managed to check out the Old Courthouse, where the 1857 Dred Scott case was decided. It was one of the worst decisions in American history and it happened at this courthouse. It was a humbling experience to be here for sure.
The next day, we continued with our journey to Hannibal, Missouri, where we found Mark Twain's Boyhood Home and Museum. The highlight was to discover the series of Norman Rockwell paintings there.

Margaret Brown
Margaret Molly Brown (née Tobin) (July 18, 1867 – October 26, 1932) was an American socialite, philanthropist, and activist who became famous because of her survival of the 1912 sinking of the RMS Titanic, after exhorting the crew of Lifeboat No. 6 to return to look for survivors. It is unclear whether any survivors were found after Lifeboat No. 6 returned to search. She became known after her death as The Unsinkable Molly Brown, although during her life, her friends called her Maggie. A 1960 Broadway musical based on her life was produced, along with a 1964 film adaptation of the musical. Both were titled The Unsinkable Molly Brown.
