Final Jeopardy Answer for July 25

The right answer for Final Jeopardy on July 25, 2024 is “Who is Margaret Brown?”

Since this American socialite also went by the name Molly Brown, “Maggie,” or the “Unsinkable Mrs. Brown,” we believe all of these would be correct responses as well.

Brown was one of the few survivors of the Titanic tragedy. She gained the moniker “The Unsinkable Mrs. Brown” due to her taking an oar in the lifeboat and attempting to convince the crew to rescue more passengers. After the tragedy, Brown created a committee with other survivors in first class to aid those from the second- and third-class passengers on the ship.

The part about her being saved by Mark Twain is one rumor that was inserted into her obituary. This is probably false since it’s unlikely that Twain and Brown have ever met, though the theory goes that Twain met her as a waitress at the Park Hotel when he stayed there during a lecture tour in 1868 or 1869. Either way, it added to her legend posthumously.
