- 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.

- Oppose because of cut-off person at left, at least for now - a crop starting at the outer right edge of the brim of the hat might improve it a bit? --Janke | Talk 16:48, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose Unfortunate composition makes it look like she has a ladder growing out of her back (and the cut-off person at the left that Janke mentioned). Pity, because she's working that hat. Belle (talk) 12:44, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose – Per Janke, Belle. (A paper I once worked for once ran a pic of a man with a wind turbine growing out of his head. Highly amusing.) Sca (talk) 14:55, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
