The Unsinkable Krewe of Molly Brown
About Us
The Unsinkable Krewe of Molly Brown honors the Titanic's most famous survivor, Molly Brown. As the Titanic sank to the depths of the ocean on April 14, 1912 a survivor now known as the Unsinkable Molly Brown played a role in saving many lives. We salute her passionate spirit, her zest for adventure and her sense of style.
The men and women of The Unsinkable Krewe of Molly Brown enjoy year-round cultural events, krewe activities and parade season. The Krewe supports arts education programs for Hillsborough County Public Schools through The Unsinkable Molly Brown Foundation Endowment Fund within the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay. In addition, the Krewe is active with the charitable organizations Krewes Kare and the ChairScholars Foundation.
Our Krewe parade float depicts the sinking Titanic ship complete with the four smokestacks, two masts and lifeboats on each side of the float. Chosen the Grand Champion Float Entry during the 2004 Centennial Gasparilla celebration and again in 2007, 2009 and 2010 the "Molly" float is truly magnificent. Krewe members parade in costumes reminiscent of those seen in the movie "Titanic". Some members wear day attire while others choose evening wear. And everyone wears a hat, the Krewe's signature accessory!
