Nov 1999
Passenger Margaret "Molly" Brown, wife of Colorado millionaire, was returning from a winter abroad and excursion to Egypt with the Astors. Her heroism and selflessness during the disaster (she effectively assumes command of her lifeboat and persuaded the other women to help with the rowing) earned her the moniker the "Unsinkable Molly Brown."

Dec 1999
The original design for Titanic called for 32 lifeboats. However, White
Star management felt that the deck would look cluttered, and reduced the
number to 20, for a total lifeboat capacity of 1178 people. This actually
exceeded the regulations of the time, even though Titanic was capable of
carrying over 3500 people (passengers and crew).
