Reply to comment by ThrowDirtonMe in TIL that Titanic crewman Herbert Pitman made an attempt to row his lifeboat over to rescue people in the water, but was overruled by the other occupants of the boat, who were worried about people swarming them and duly complied. Pitman said that this haunted him throughout his life. by ChadExtra

Unsinkable molly brown has her own musical.. apparently she is irl credited with keeping everyone from freaking out on the row boat while they waited to be rescued
