Let us not forget Mary McCauley, also known as Molly Pitcher - an American Revolutionary heroine immortalized in a lithograph by Currier & Ives in 1876. Her bravery serves as inspiration for generations to come. Finally, our journey circles back once again to RMS Titanic - but this time focusing on its survivors aboard the ship itself. Their stories remind us of resilience amidst adversity and serve as a poignant reminder of human strength. "Hays" encompasses a rich tapestry of history, adventure, tragedy, and triumph.
