"The
Unsinkable" Molly Brown |
| Molly's life took a
surprising turn after the sinking. Previously, her efforts to be accepted by Denver
society had been unsuccessful, the Selflessness and heroism she had shown on the Titanic
prompted her neighbors, for a short time, to open their doors to here. in 1924 she was
named a potential candidate for Congress. As time passed on, however, she grew
increasingly eccentric. her husband died intestate and she found herself at odds with her
children over his money. in 1932, at the age of 65 she died suddenly in New York City
after a stroke. It was only after her death, when she became the subject of the hit
Broadway musical and film, "The unsinkable Molly Brown" That she gained some of
the fame she would have so enjoyed in life. |
Bruce
Ismay |
| J. Ismay Retired as
planned from the International Mercantile Marine in June 1913, but the position of
managing director of the White Star Lines that he hoped to retain was denied him,
surviving the Titanic Disaster had made him far to unpopular with the public. He spent his
remaining years alternating between his homes in London and Ireland. because Ismay had
never had many close friends, and subsequently had few business contacts, it was
mistakenly easy to assume that he had become a recluse, he did enjoy being kept informed
of shipping news but those around him were forbidden to speak of the Titanic. He died in
1937. |
