The Unsinkable Violet Jessop


Violet Jessop survived the sinking of the sister ships the Titanic and the Britannic and was also aboard the third of the trio of Olympic class vessels, the Olympic, when it had a major accident.
Violet worked as a ship stewardess on the Olympic and Titanic and was a nurse on the Britannic.
I would have kept my feet on dry land after the first catastrophe but Violet continued to work on ships in various capacities.  In 1948 at the age of 61she signed on with Royal Mail for one last stint at sea.

She died in 1971 of congestive heart failure at the ripe old age of 84.

I wonder if her nickname was Jinx.
