| Five Hundred SeventyEighth in the Famous People (FP) Series - Margaret Brown |
 |
Margaret boarded the passenger liner RMS Titanic as a first class passenger at Cherbourg, France.
The Titanic sank on April 15, 1912 after striking iceberg. Margaret helped others board the lifeboats but was finally convinced to leave the ship in Lifeboat No. 6. She would come to be regarded as a heroine for her efforts to get lifeboat 6 to go back to look for survivors.
Molly Brown was dubbed "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" by historians because she became a hero of the night by helping in the ship's evacuation, taking an oar herself in her lifeboat and protesting for the lifeboat to go back to try and save more people. This was met with strong opposition from Quartermaster Hichens, the crewman in charge of Lifeboat 6, who believed that nobody would be saved by going back as the boat would be pulled down by the ship's suction or by the force of everyone scrambling to get aboard. Sources vary as to whether the boat did go back and if they found anyone alive when they did; some reports say that no survivors were found, except by Lifeboat No. 12. On board the rescue ship R.M.S. Carpathia, Margaret Brown took a leadership role among the women passengers.
To get to the unkempt Rehobeth Cemetery and find this cache, you will need to be just as determined as Molly Brown. During the growing season, the grass is high and the PI is unavoidable. The nearest marker we found to this hanging decon container is that of one Mollie Childress.
