Reading Zev’s thread on the TITANIC made me wonder…that loud-mouthed gate-crashing, socialite wanna-be (Molly Brown). What happened to her? I understand that she had been a cook in a Colorado gold mining town saloon…until her prospector husband struck gold. She became a millionaire, and moved into high society. How come her husband didn’t accompany her…was she EVER accepted by the Rothschilds, Astors, VanderBilts, etc.?
What did she do after the TIANIC sank?
Sunk?
First she became Debbie Reynolds, then she became a web site!
Me and her share a birthday.
Ralph, she died in bed of a cerebral hemorrhage in the Barbizon Hotel, NYC, in 1932.
Some sites about Molly Brown. I particularly like this one, compiled by a fourth grade class!

She was a bit more sophisticated than most film depictions give her credit for, incidentally. She had a very unhappy marriage that ended in a very long legal separation followed, after her husband’s death, by constant feuding with her children over money. She was also a major suffragette and force in early 20th century women’s movements.
Are you saying that sank is not the correct verb form in the OP? Actually it is. Sunk is the past participle.
The ship sank. or We sank the ship..
The ships have sunk. or We have sunk the ship.
I think he was just saying (correctly) that after 80 or 90 some-odd years, there’s a pretty good chance the unsinkable has “sunk.”
