Sadly, in her lifetime very few people were aware of her 1912 accomplishment; potential press coverage was dominated by the sinking of The Titanic only two days before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrace Darling (b. 1815) is a name much more familiar to the public today, and in her lifetime she was lauded as a national heroine.
