Original – Mrs. J.J. "Molly" Brown presenting trophy cup award to Capt. Arthur Henry Rostron, for his service in the rescue of the Titanic. The committee for the award was chaired by Frederick Kimber Seward.
Reason
Margaret Brown, known as "Maggie" to her friends and to history as the "Unsinkable Molly Brown", was the person most associated with commandeering Titanic life boat #6 and returning to the scene of Titanic's final plunge to search for any survivors from the fridge waters of the North Atlantic. In May 1912, Mrs. J.J. "Molly" Brown presented a trophy cup (apparently also referred to as a loving cup) award to Capt. Arthur Henry Rostron, for his service in the rescue of the Titanic survivors.
