Molly Brown by Victoria

Margaret Brown

The unsinkable Molly Brown

    Molly brown was born on Thursday July 18^th, 1867 in Hannibal Missouri, United States. She was married to James Joseph Brown; but that wasn’t all in this little family, they had a son and daughter who went by the names of Lawrence Palmer Brown and Catherine Ellen Brown. Now way before she became known as the Unsinkable Molly Brown she was known for being the first women in the United States to run for political office; she ran for senate for eight years straight! Molly and her daughter were known for travelling all of Europe with the John Jacob Astor party in Cairo, Egypt. After their adventures of Europe Molly received a very tragic message saying that her first grandchild was very ill, so knowing that,she thought she had to get to New York City as quickly as possible. She booked a ticket for the earliest ship leaving to New York which happened to be the Titanic. From her quick decision to go to New York her daughter stayed back and very few of her family members knew about her boarding the Titanic. After being on the Titanic when it hit the ice berg she made a quick move to the lifeboat number 6. Once she got in that boat everyone was in panic and shock of the fact that the Unsinkable ship was beginning to sink! So she took charge of the lifeboat full of women and she began telling them what to do and to stay focused; she became the rock of the boat. She was known as the Unsinkable Molly Brown because after she took charge of the lifeboat which made it safely to the boat which had all the survivors on it; not only did she save them but she remained calm the whole time! She reassured all the woman and kept them calm while this was happening. 20 years later Molly Brown had died of a brain tumor on Wednesday October 26^th,1932 aged of 65. Even though Molly Brown is gone she will always be remembered as the Unsinkable Molly Brown that made an impact on the titanic tragedy!

She also said that her father was excited to be on the ship and her mother was upset as they weren't suppose to be on that ship.

                       Eva was of course sleeping when the Titanic hit the iceberg and of course her mother was awake. her mother awoke her father and he rushed to the boat deck to see what was the matter. He came back and bundled Eva and her mother in blankets and coats and rushed them to the boat deck and onto Lifeboat No.14. that was the last time she would ever see her father. They never recovered his body.

                Eva and her mother were rescued on the Carpathia and arrived at New York. Eva said she had nightmares about the ship. When her mother died when she was 23 she went upon another ship and locked herself in her cabin for four days straight until the nightmares went away.

William Carter

William Thornton Carter is the person I'm researching for my project on the Titanic.  He lived in Philadelphia before he boarded the Titanic.  He was 11 years old and he was a 1st class passenger going to New York city.  William survived the Titanic with his mother and sister. After surviving the Titanic he didn't like talking about the Titanic because he had a dog that he brought on the Titanic. He wasn't sure if his dog survived. William died January 28 of 1985.   by Dominik

                                                                                                                                         

Sir Cosmo Edmund Duff Gordon

Early life and marriage, 

      Sir Cosmo Gordon was born tuesday, july 22, 1862, in England. He grew up in a very wealthy family full of landowners and very respected government officials. He became very athletic through out his childhood and continued on to the 1908 olympics for fencing and won a silver medal. His parents,Cosmo lewis duff Gordon and Anna maria Antrobus encouraged him throughout his early life to become athletic but also follow in their footsteps being considered (RICH). As his life continued he became more wealthy as his investments in being a landlord, his old family wine making business added to his making as a professional fencer. One day he finally met the lady of his dreams and went on to marry the famous fashion designer Lucie Wallace who later changer her name to Lady Duff Gordon. their relationship was formal as he also went on to invest in her company and then it got official and they married in 1900. 

The titanic,

          

       They boarded the famous and thought of unsinkable titanic on april 10 1912 with ticket number 11755 at ($39) and entered first class as they settled in to their rooms, a-16 housing Cosmo and a-20 housing Lady Duff. One weird thing about their travels was that they enlisted their tickets under the name MR&MRS. Morgan. Their time on the ship passed by in luxury (for their time) but they had no clue of the deadly night that approached. Their reason for travel was for business expansions and that work was put on delay as the sinking began Lady duffs chances for survival were extremely high as she was a first class woman but even though Sir Cosmo was first class it was supposed to be only woman and children and men were to stay out of respect to save all of them first. But he secretly asked  William Murdoch if they could aboard and then he secretly bribed many crew members with money to cover all their lost items and then boarded emergency lifeboat 1 with a total of 12 passengers at the end. He also was remembered for refusing to go back after they for far out to help save others possibly still available to save. A-pon their arrival back in new york the next year of life was crowded with illegal controversy over what he did back on the ship when the sinking started( when he bribed the crew).  He never got over what happened that very dreadful night  and later died on april 20 1931at an age of 68 and was then buried later aside his wife near London (England)

Sir Cosmo Gordon Before the boarding of the RMS Titanic !

       Dorothy Gibson named Dorothy Winifred Brown at birth was born in Hoboken, New Jersey, the daughter of John A. and Pauline Brown. John Brown died when Dorothy was a child and her mother married John Leonard Gibson. 

       Dorothy was a singer and dancer in a number of musicals on Broadway in 1908. In 1909 she became a favorite model, her image appearing on magazine covers and postcards for a while. In 1911, she was hired by the French company Éclair, becoming a popular star in hit comedies and dramas. On March 17, 1912, having made multiple movies, including "The Easter Bonnet," a romantic comedy, and a gangster movie called "The Revenge of the Silk Masks”, Dorothy sailed to Europe for a vacation with her mother.

     After a few weeks, Éclair adviser and producer, Jules Brulatour told her in Italy to return to complete a new roll of movies. Dorothy was having an affair with Brulatour, who later divorced his wife to marry her. Dorothy and her mother were in Paris when they booked their return passage on the Titanic, which they boarded when the ship stopped at Cherbourg on the evening of April 10^th.

        Dorothy told the New York Dramatic Mirror that she "spent a pleasant Sunday evening playing bridge with a couple of friendly New York bankers".  Despite the requests of a steward to finish, the friends carried on with their game. It was not until about 11.40 p.m. that Dorothy made her way to join her mother in her room. She then noticed “a long drawn, sickening crunch." She wasn't exactly alarmed but decided to investigate. 

        "As I started to walk across the ship I noticed how lopsided the deck was." She hurried to fetch her mother. According to Dorothy, lifeboat 7 was virtually empty when she and her mother arrived on the boat deck. After being lowered into the water it looked as if her lifeboat would follow Titanic to the bottom. Water gushed through a hole in the bottom until, in the words of Dorothy "this was fixed by volunteer contributions from the underwear of the women and the garments of men."' 

      "I will never forget the terrible cry that rang out from people who were thrown into the sea ," she told the Moving Picture World. 

        Soon after the disaster, Dorothy acted in the first film ever produced about it, called "Saved from the Titanic" (in which she basically played herself.) The movie was released May 14, 1912, a month after the sinking. According to Eclair, Dorothy was hesitant about reliving the disaster so quickly after the tragedy but  "the beautiful young star conquered her own feeling and went ahead," as the Moving Picture World wrote.

      Dorothy made about 20 movies. Only one of her films survives to this day. "The Lucky Holdup," is now preserved by the American Film Institute. "The Lucky Holdup" premiered in New York just as Dorothy set sail on the Titanic.

         Mrs. Gibson died of heart failure in her suite at the Hotel Ritz in Paris on February 11, 1946. She was single when she died.

Annie Jessie Harper

Friday, April 5th, 2013
By: Arianna Gomez

Miss Annie Jessie Harper, or Nina as her friends and family called her, was six years old when she went on the Titanic. She was born on Monday, January 1st, 1906. She was born in London, England. She was on the Titanic as a second class passenger. When the Titanic was sinking Annie's father woke her up, wrapped her in a blanket and carried her up to the A deck and some crew placed her on lifeboat 11 with her aunt Miss Leitch. Nina remembers hearing the screams of the other passengers drowning, and seeing the lights go out. When the young Nina and her aunt got to New York City, Nina couldn't figure out why her father John Harper baptism reverend did not come with her. Since Annie's mother died when Annie was a baby, she was now an orphan and Annie ended up living with her fathers brothers. Annie or Nina as some call her didn't speak of the Titanic disaster until she was much older. Apparently, Eva Hart remembers playing with Nina on several occasions with them only being a year apart they were able to relate. Nina however never remembered this. Later on Annie Jessie Harper became Annie Jessie Pont when she married Reverend Pont. When Nina was 72 years old she was asked if she would like it if they raised the Titanic and she replied: "I don't see much point in it after all this time." Nina Pont died in 1986, and her aunt Miss Jessie Leitch died in 1963.

Mr.Frederick Fleet

                   


Mr. Frederick Fleet was born in Liverpool,England October 15 1887 in which means that he was twenty-five when he was on the Titanic, he was an orphan his father was unknown and his mother left him to go with her boyfriend to live in Springfield, Massachusetts and was never heard from since.Fredrick went with many foster families until he was twelve then he was sent to a training ship to work on liners and such he stayed there for 4 years until he worked as a deck boy trying to work his way up to an able seaman (if your not sure what a able seaman is it is a person whom is qualified to preform routine sea duties).The reason Frederick was on the Titanic because Fleet was hired to be the lookout for the maiden voyage he earned five pounds per month plus an extra five for lookout duty so 10 pounds that would be $15.63 which is cheep for our standers. After Fleet spotted the iceberg and the Titanic hit it Fleet was relived of duty and then after the crew found out they were done for Fleet then was ordered by Second Officer Charles Lightoller to go to life boat 6 to help get woman and children in first. Following the disaster and being brought to the Carpathia he then served on one other White Star Liner Olympic but the ship reminded him too much of the Titanic and the company said that the crew survivors were an embarrassment, so he left the company in August 1912.Fleet joined other companies at the age of 51 he was done with the sea eventually he sold newspapers on the street corners of Southampton he was married to Eva Ernestine May Legros in 1917 she died in 1964 Fleet, after two weeks without his wife he was so depressed that he hung himself.
