I believe you are talking about the "Unsinkable" Molly Brown who was an American socialite aboard the Titanic. While she may have rowed lifeboat #6 for 6 hours, she is more famous for insisting that the lifeboat go back to pick up survivors from the water. Unfortunately by the time she convinced the crew on the lifeboat to return to the site of the sinking, there was nobody left alive.
Two of the sixteen lifeboats went back to find survivors. They found 9 people in the water but only 6 survived. The first boat, Lifeboat 4, pulled 5 people from the water but two died in the boat. The second boat, Lifeboat 14, found 4 survivors, but one died in the lifeboat. When asked why they did not go back sooner to help people, Officer Harold Lowe, who headed Lifeboat 14, said "it would have been suicide to go back there until the people had thinned out." He was afraid that those drowning would have overturned or swamped the lifeboat. Including passengers and crew, there were 2,208 people onboard. 1,503 people died, leaving 705 survivors. Only 962 lifeboat seats were required by law, though the Titanic's lifeboats could have held 1,178. There were 472 lifeboat seats that went unused.

Lifeboat 6
Per the British Board of Trade report on the Titanic disaster, there were originally 325 first class passengers on board - 175 men, 144 women and 6 children. Of that number, 202 survived - consisting of 57 men, 140 women, and 5 children.
Frederick Fleet, the lookout who saw the iceberg and was saved on lifeboat #6, survived Titanic but he couldn't survive himself. Decades later, in 1965, after his wife died, he went behind his barn and he hanged himself.
This is more of a random fact, but the reason why there weren't enough boats on the Titanic was because a few years before a boat had sunk and there were too many life boats, so the designers only outfitted life boats on the Titanic for decoration more than anything else, as they thought it would never sink. The Titanic was designed to hold 32 lifeboats, it was eventually paired down to twenty. Lifeboat number 6 was designed to hold 65 people. For more info visit the link below.
While most lifeboats filled with survivors put distance between themselves and the sinking ship, Lifeboat 14 went back and rescued some of the survivors who were in the ocean. Going back to rescue survivors in the water posed a significant risk to the occupants of the lifeboat, as the masses of survivors drowning in the water could overcome the lifeboat and drown everyone. As a result, the leader of the lifeboat, a man named Harold Lowe, decided to wait until the screams of those drowning had grown quiet before going to rescue what few survivors they could. They eventually pulled 4 people out of the icy water, one of whom died soon after. Lifeboat 14 was reportedly the only lifeboat that went back to rescue survivors.
