Original – Mrs. J.J. "Molly" Brown presenting trophy cup award to Capt. Arthur Henry Rostron, for his service in the rescue of the Titanic. The committee for the award was chaired by Frederick Kimber Seward.
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)[reply]

  • 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
